Explanation:

Pythagoreans theory

a2 + b2 = c2

24(square) + 7(square) =c(square)

576 + 49= c square

625=c square

c=√625

c=25

To solve this problem, you would have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

X is the hypotenuse; therefore:

24^2+7^2=x^2

576+49=x^2

625=x^2

To solve this you would have to figure out what the square root of 625 is.

Answer: 25
