Question

What is the length of the missing side? 26 10 ?

Answer 1

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the missing side.

Let the missing side be x.

Then, x^2 + 10^2 = 26^2.

x^2 + 100 = 676

Subtract 100 from both sides:

x^2 = 576

Square root both sides:

x = 24

Answer 2

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

~ Formula ~

a² + b² = c ²

Solve:

Let,

a² = 10

c² = 26

Thus,

a² + b² = c²

10² + b² = 26²                                 { ² means # × # Not # × 2 }

100 + b² = 676                                {Subtract both sides by 100}

b² = 576                                       {Square Root}

576 = 24²

= √24 ²

Apply radical rule - n √aⁿ = a

√24 ² = 24  

Answer = 24

Check Answer:

a² + b² = c²

10² + 24² = 26²

100 + 576= 676 ☑
