Question

The side lengths of a triangle are 10,26 and 24 which one is the hypotenuse

Answer 1

The hypotenuse is the longer of the 3 sides:

answer: b.26

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\bf\: b. \: 26 \rightarrow hypotenuse }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a right angled triangle with sides as 10, 26 & 24 units.

Here, we need to find the hypotenuse of the triangle.

The hyptenuse is the side which is opposite to the right angle (90°) & is also the longest side of the triangle.

Then, among the given values, we can clearly say that 26 > 10, 24.

Therefore, $\boxed{\bf\: 26 \: units }$ is the hypotenuse  of the triangle with side lengths as 10, 26, 24 units.
