1. **Problem:** Find the length of the hypotenuse $c$ in a right triangle given the legs.
2. **Formula:** Use the Pythagorean theorem:
$$c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$$
where $a$ and $b$ are the legs of the triangle.
3. **Step-by-step solution for part (a):**
- Given legs: $1$ and $2$
- Calculate:
$$c = \sqrt{1^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4} = \sqrt{5}$$
- So, the exact length of the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{5}$.
This method applies similarly to all parts in question 3.

**Question 3 (a):**
$$c = \sqrt{1^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{5}$$
**Question 3 (b):**
$$c = \sqrt{3^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{9 + 49} = \sqrt{58}$$
**Question 3 (c):**
$$c = \sqrt{5^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{25 + 9} = \sqrt{34}$$
**Question 3 (d):**
$$c = \sqrt{6^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{36 + 1} = \sqrt{37}$$
**Question 3 (e):**
$$c = \sqrt{10^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{100 + 9} = \sqrt{109}$$
**Question 3 (f):**
$$c = \sqrt{8^2 + 17^2} = \sqrt{64 + 289} = \sqrt{353}$$

**Summary:**
- The hypotenuse lengths for question 3 are:
- (a) $\sqrt{5}$
- (b) $\sqrt{58}$
- (c) $\sqrt{34}$
- (d) $\sqrt{37}$
- (e) $\sqrt{109}$
- (f) $\sqrt{353}$
These are exact values as requested.
