We have to apply Pythagoras theorem here,

Hyp² = Perp.² + Base²

c² = 10²+24²

c² = 100+576

c² = 676

c = √676

c = 26 m

So, your final answer is 26 m.

So in order to find the missing length of the triangle, we are going to use the pythagorean theorem. a2+b2=c2
Given that a = 24m and b=10m, c=?
Plug in the values: (24)^2 + (10)^2 = c^2
576 + 100 = c^2
676 = c^2 << square both sides to get c
c= 26.
Therefore, the missing length would be 26 meters.
Hope that is the answer that you are looking for. Thanks for posting your question.
