I don't have the diagram — can you upload the picture or describe which sides each number labels (which points are A, B, C, D and which segments are 2 cm, 4 cm, 12 cm, 20 cm)?

Meanwhile, here are two common interpretations and their answers using the Pythagorean theorem:

- If the two legs are 12 cm and 20 cm, the hypotenuse c = sqrt(12^2 + 20^2) = sqrt(544) = 4√34 ≈ 23.32 cm.
- If one leg is 12 cm and the hypotenuse is 20 cm, the other leg = sqrt(20^2 − 12^2) = sqrt(256) = 16 cm.

Tell me which numbers label which sides (or upload the diagram) and I’ll compute the correct hypotenuse.
