Question

What is the length of in the right triangle below? A. B. 24 C. 576 D. 36 E. 16 F. 260

Answer 1

B: 24

Explanation:

26²-10²= 676-100=576

√576=24 => B

Answer 2

B. 24

Explanation:

To find this, use Pythagorean Theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

a is 10, and c is 26. We know 26 is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle

10^2=b^2=26^2

100+b^2=676

Subtract 100 on both sides

b^2=576

Take the square root of both sides

b=24

Hope this helps! :)
