To solve this word problem, we will use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Our side lengths are 10 and 24ft.
So, we can plug them in for a and b.
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = 676
Then, we need to find the square root of 676.
sqrt676) = 26
So, the missing length or the hypotenuse is 26 feet.
Therefore, we require 26 feet of string to measure the length of the hypotenuse in which the room is split in half.
Answer: the answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:

-8y=24
We want to isolate y to get the value of 1y. Divide both sides by -8
y= -3
Final answer: y=-3

This is the associative property of addition (D).
It states that when adding three terms, the sum is equal no matter the grouping (parentheses).
The angle is obviously larger than a right angle because it is bending outwards. This means it is greater than 90°, so ∠2 must be an obtuse angle.
