Hello!

You have to use pythagorean theorem since its a right triangle


c^(2) is always opposite to 90 degrees which means its always the hypthenuse. but for the
a^(2) and
b^(2) it can be any side

1.

formula:
a^(2) +b^(2)= c^(2)

=>
19^(2) +9^(2)= x^(2)

=>442=
x^(2)

=>
√(442) =\sqrt{x^(2) }

=>21.02

2.

=>
a^(2) +6^(2)= 24^(2)

=>
a^(2) +36=576

=>
\sqrt{a^(2) } =√(540)

=>23.23

3.

=>
a^(2) +6^(2)= 10^(2)

=>
a^(2) +36=100

=>
√(a)^(2)=√( 64 )

=>8

Hope i helped! c:
