Answer:

8.54 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Perpendicular ( p ) = 8 units

Base ( b ) = 3 units

Hypotenuse ( h ) = ?

Using Pythagoras theorem:

[tex] {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]

plug the values

[tex] {h}^{2} = {8}^{2} + {3}^{2} [/tex]

Evaluate the power

[tex] {h}^{2} = 64 + 9[/tex]

Calculate the sum

[tex] {h}^{2} = 73[/tex]

Squaring on both sides

[tex]h = \sqrt{73} [/tex]

Calculate

[tex]h = 8.54[/tex] units

Hope this helps..

Best regards!
