Use Pythagorean theorem


\\ \rm\longmapsto x^2=24^2+7^2


\\ \rm\longmapsto x^2=576+49


\\ \rm\longmapsto x^2=625


\\ \rm\longmapsto x=25

Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

Use Pythagoras' Theorem
a^s+b^2=c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle


\implies 7^2+24^2=x^2


\implies 49+576=x^2


\implies 625=x^2


\implies x=√(625)


\implies x=\pm25


\implies x = 25 only, as distance is positive
