Question

PLLEASEEE HELPPP!!! ILL BRAINLIST.

2) Using Pythagoras’ Theorem, which is the correct statement (A, B or C)
that describes the relationship between the three side lengths in this
triangle? Explain your choice.
A 262 = x2 + 242 B 242 = x2 + 262 C x2 = 242 + 262

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is most likely C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagoras' Theorem, c^2 = a^2 + b^2

I'm not sure if 242 and 262 were 24^2 and 26^2 respectively but I'm using 24^2 and 26^2 for this answer.

The c^2 is in fact x^2 where x is the hypotenuse.

However, the answer could be A if x has to be whole number. In this case, x^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

x^2 = 26^2 - 24^2 = 100

x = sqrt (100) = 10
