Question

For the following right triangle, find the side length x

Answer 1

26

Explanation:

To find the side length of a right triangle with the other two sides already, known, use the Pythagorean Theorem,

a² + b² = c²

or

24² + 10² = x²

24 times 24 is 576,

10 times 10 is 100,

Add them together to get 676,

And then find the square root.

√676 = 26 :)
