Explanation:

Hey there!

Here;

ABC is a Right angled triangle.

Taking reference angle as angleA.

Now;

Hypotenuse (h) = AB

Perpendicular (BC)= 24 ft.

Base(AC)= 10 ft.

Now, Using Pythagoras relation;

$h = \sqrt{ {p}^(2) + {b}^(2) }$

Put all values.

$h = \sqrt{ {24}^(2) + {10}^(2) }$

Simplify it.

h = √(576 + 100)

h = √(676)

Therefore, h= 26ft.

ANS: OPTION A.

Hope it helps....
