    Then you can calculate the length of the other segment, gj, using Pytagora's theorem, because when you are talking about hypotenuese you know that it is a right triangle.

    hypotenuse^.2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2

    (6 cm) ^2 = (2 cm) ^2 + (segment gj) ^2

    segment gj^2 = 36 cm^2 - 4cm^2 = 32 cm^2

    segment gj = √ (32 cm^2) = 5.66 cm
