Answer 1

Hello!

This is a right triangle therefore we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

The Pythagorean theorem is
`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)`

c is the hypotenuse which is the side across the right angle

a and b are the other sides

Put in the values we know


`24^(2) + 7^(2) = c^(2)`

square the numbers


`576 + 49 = c^(2)`

Add


`625 = c^(2)`

Take the square root of 625

25 = c

The answer is 25

Hope this helps!
