Question

In the given right triangle, find the missing length


10 m

21 m

14 m

28 m

Answer 1

the answer would be 10 meters

Answer 2

The equation for a right triangle is $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

The missing side length can either be (a) or (b) it doesn't really matter, but the hypotenuse is always (c)
It'll be (a) in this

$a^{2} +24^{2} = 26^2$
$a^{2} +576=676$
$a^{2} =100$
square root both sides:
$\sqrt{a^{2} } = \sqrt{100}$
$a=10$

10m is the missing length
