Answer:
[tex]b}= 4\sqrt{11}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side length.
[tex]a^{2}+ b^{2}= c^{2}[/tex]
[tex]20^{2}+ b^{2}= 24^{2}[/tex]
[tex]400+ b^{2}= 576[/tex]
[tex]b^{2}= 176[/tex]
[tex]b= \sqrt{176}= 4\sqrt{11}[/tex]
