Question

What is the value of x?
26
10

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

Answer 2

x=24

Explanation:

This is a right triangle so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 =c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

x^2 + 10^2 = 26^2

x^2 +100 =676

Subtract 100 from each side

x^2 +100-100 = 676-100

x^2 = 576

Take the square root of each side

x = sqrt(576)

x =24
