To find the length of the hypotenuse (c) in a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

In this case, we have:
a = 3.9 mm
b = 6.6 mm

So, using the Pythagorean theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 3.9^2 + 6.6^2
c^2 = 15.21 + 43.56
c^2 = 58.77

To solve for c, we take the square root of both sides:
c = √58.77
c ≈ 7.6 mm

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is approximately 7.6 mm.
