Answer: 26
Step-by-step explanation:
a² + b² = c² Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length, a & b are the side of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
10² + 24² = x² In this triangle, the x was the hypotenuse, which is c, plug 10 and 24 into a and b.
100 + 576 = x²
676= x²
rewrite as
x² = 676
√x² = √676 [solve the square root from both side]
x = 26
