Question 535881
Pythagoras theorem says that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (called the "legs" of the right triangle). So, if the length of the hypotenuse is {{{h}}}
{{{h^2=24^2+10^2}}}
It turns out, calculating, that
{{{h^2=676}}}and taking the square root
{{{h=26}}}
