Answer:

25

Explanation:

To find the length of a missing side of a triangle the formula is as follows:

a^2+b^2=c^2

For your situation a=7 and b=24 so it will look like this:

7^2+24^2 = c^2

This ends up equaling 625 so we know that c^2 = 625

After we solve this problem we figure out that the answer is 25.

Lets check our work:

25^2 = 625

So we were right!
