Step 1: Determine the lengths of the legs of the right-angled triangle △ABC\triangle ABC from the diagram.
By counting the grid units and assuming 1 unit = 1 m:
The horizontal leg AB‾\overline{AB} is 4 units long, so AB‾=4 m\overline{AB} = 4 \text{ m}.
The vertical leg AC‾\overline{AC} is 3 units long, so AC‾=3 m\overline{AC} = 3 \text{ m}.

Step 2: Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse BC‾\overline{BC}.

BC‾2=AB‾2+AC‾2\overline{BC}^2 = \overline{AB}^2 + \overline{AC}^2
