Question

What is the length of the missing side of this triangle?

A
2

B
10

C
50

D
100



the top is 26 bottom is 24 left side is the missing side

Answer 1

The answer is B=10 and the top is called hypothenus

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

The given is a right triangle, in right triangles the sum of square value of two legs (base and height) is equal to square value of hypotenuse.

Now, know the value of base and hypotenuse are 24 and 26

let x represent the missing side:

26^2 = x^2 + 24^2

676 = x^2 + 576 subtract 576 from both sides

100 = x^2 find the root of both sides

10 = x this is the length of the missing side
