Answer:
this is a right angle triangle.
which means that we can use hypotenuse theorem to solve it.
the hypotenuse theorem:-
a^2 +b^2 =c^2
where a and b are the sides opposite to the hypotenuse.
[(the longest side) the longest side of the triangle is always opposite to the right angle]
so...
a = 24
b = 7
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
24^2 + 7^2 = c^2
576 + 49 = c^2
625 = c^2
don't stop here, you could lose marks. I have seen my classmates do this silly and small mistake and lose 1/2 a mark.
√625 = c
25 = c
thus the length of the third side is 25.
