Explanation:
This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side:
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]
In this problem we have a = 24, b = 10 and c = x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2=24^2+10^2 \\ x^2=576+100 \\ x^2=676 \\ x=\sqrt[]{676} \\ x=26 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Answer:
x = 26
