Answer:

30

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is c2 (c squared) = a2 (a squared) + b2 (b squared).

The side lengths (24 and 18) can be plugged in for a and b. C is the length of the hypotenuse.

24 Squared + 18 Squared= c squared

Use a calculator to help you.

24 squared is 576

18 squared is 324

So, 576+324=c squared

Simplify

900=c squared

Now use the squre root on both sides to get rid of the c squared. (use a calculator)

30=c
