Answer:

5.946 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we know that in a right angle triangle to find the longest side we must use the equation a^2 = b^2 + c^2

A is the longest side while b and c are the other two sides

To find one side we must use

b^2 = a^2 - c^2

a squared = 6.9 squared - 3.5 squared

a^2 = 35.36

square root 35.36 to get a

a = 5.946427499

a (3 d.p.) = 5.946
