Explanation:

The complete question is

What is the length of leg y of the right triangle?

A right triangle with hypotenuse 26 and legs 24 and y

• 10
• 14
• 24
• 26

We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, where
`h=26` and
`x=24`,

`h^(2) =x^(2) +y^(2)\\ 26^(2)=24^(2)+y^(2)\\y=\sqrt{26^(2)-24^(2)}\\ y=√(676-576)\\ y=√(100)\\ y=10`

Therefore, the right answer is A. The length of the missing leg is 10 units.
