Out of Instructions: Find the missing side of the triangle. ng question 24 х 7

Answer 1

Since it is a right triangle we can apply the Pythagorean theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where:

c = hypotenuse = x

a & b = the other 2 legs of the triangle (24 and 7 )

Replacing:

x ^2 = 24^2 + 7^2

Solve for x:

x^2 = 576 +49

x^2 = 625

x = √625

x = 25
