Answer:

c = 25

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean rule which states that for a right angle triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

The hypotenuse is the longest side and it is always the side opposite to the right angle.

In this case, c is the hypotenuse

Now let's solve for c

c^2 = 24^2 + 7^2

c^2 = 576 + 49

c^2 = 625

c =
√(625)

c = 25
