Answer:

24 and yes

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of x

the side facing the right angle is the side measured 26 and that is the hypotenuse

According to Pythagoras’ theorem, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus;

26^2 = 10^2 + x^2

x^2= 26^2-10^2

x^2 = 676-100

x^2 = 576

x= √576

x = 24

Yes, they form a pythagorean triple as the square of the two smaller numbers will give the biggest number at all times
