We use Pythagorean
Theorem to solve this.
Formula:
a² + b² = c
², where c is the hypotenuse.
Plug in the values for variables a and b to find c:
c² = 18² + 26²
c² = 1000
c = √1000
c = 31.6 in
Answer: 31.6 in

The equation to find the right triangle is a^2+b^2=c^2 or the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2 Substitute the values
18^2+26^2=c^2 Solve the powers
324+676=c^2 Simplify
1000=c^2 Solve the the square
31.6=c
