Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2 FOR RIGHT TRIANGLES ONLY), you see that 10^2+b^2=26^2, and the answer is b=25 cm.

BTW=10, 25, 26 is a pythagorean triple

Answer:

24

Explanation:

Hi hi ok so heres how you do this:

This is a right triangle cause of the lil' red angle indication.

So, we use Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Now, we have a and c(or b and c. A and B are interchangeable)

10^2+b^2=26^2

100+b^2=676

676-100=576

Now, square root of 576 is 24.

the other leg is 24
