Question 32027
Hello!
The Pythagorean Theorem states that for a right triangle with sides a and b, and hypotenuse c, the following equation must hold:

{{{a^2+b^2=c^2}}}

Therefore, since a=10 and b=24,

{{{10^2+24^2=c^2}}}
{{{100 + 576 = c^2}}}
{{{676 = c^2}}}
{{{sqrt(676)=c}}}
{{{26 = c}}}

So the length of the side not given here (the hypotenuse) is 26.


I hope this helps!
