Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the trim angle ?

Answer 1

So for this, you'll be using the pythagorean theorem, which is
`leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2` . In this case, 10 and 24 are the legs, and AB is the hypotenuse. Our equation will be
`10^2+24^2=AB^2`

Firstly, solve the exponents:
`100+576=AB^2`

Next, combine 100 and 576:
`676=AB^2`

And lastly, square root both sides to get
`26=AB`

And in short, Line AB is 26 ft, or the first option.
