To find the length of the hypotenuse (c) in a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem, we can use the formula:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Given that a = 3 cm and b = 2 cm:
c^2 = 3^2 + 2^2
c^2 = 9 + 4
c^2 = 13

Taking the square root of both sides to solve for c:
c = √13
c ≈ 3.6 cm

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is approximately 3.6 centimeters.
