Answer:

24.

Explanation:

The hypotenuse of a triangle is simply the slanted side of a triangle and it is always the longest side of any triangle.

Mathematically, the hypotenuse of a triangle is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem;

C² = A² + B²

Where;

C is the hypotenuse i.e the longest side.

A is the opposite side of the triangle.

B is the adjacent side of the triangle.
