What's the hypotenuse of 3214

There are no more descriptions

Julie S.

Is it a right triangle with one side 32 and the other side 14?  If so, then you would use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse. 
 
a2 +b2 = c2  so that would be (32)2 + (14)2 = c2 ; 1024 + 196 = 1220 = c2
Then if c2 = 1220 you take the square root of both sides and that would be 34.93... so you could say approx 35.
 
But that's just a guess since there is no picture and only one number provided - you need two sides of a triangle to find the hypotenuse!!!
