Is the use of "has" possible here as the sentence is hypothetical conditional 2?

I think it would be better to keep the tenses parallel:
If I tell you it has...
If I told you it had...
But it would not be impossible to use "has" since it's still true with the past tense "told."

eg . . . then what/long would the hypotenuse be?
Clive

or "then the hypotenuse would be...?" and you trail off to let the person fill in the blank.
But I did not look at the second part of the sentence very carefully obviously, and didnt notice the problems it has.
