Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a triangle you need to do 1/2 b x h. So we find out the height by halving 8 which is 4 and dividing it by 24. 24 divided by 4 is 6. Now we have found out the height which is 6 we need to find the hypotenuse by using Pythagoras (a2 + b2 = c2). 8 squared is 64 and 6 squared is 36. We add these values together to find c2. 36 + 64 = 100. Now we square root it to find the hypotenuse which is 10.
