Answer:

25

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x,

The Pythagorean Theorem states that
a^2 + b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

We already know a and b’s value so we can substitute inside the formula to find the length of the hypotenuse.


24^2+7^2=c^2\\\\576+49=c^2\\\\625=c^2\\\\c=25

Hope this helped!
