Answer 1

Hello!

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.


`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)`

c is the hypotenuse which is the side opposite of the right angle
a and b are the other sides

Put in the values you know


`a^(2) + 24^(2) = 25^(2)`

Square the numbers


`a^(2) + 576 = 625`

Subtract 576 from both sides


`a^(2) = 49`

Take the square root of both sides

a = 7

The answer is 7

Hope this helps!
