Don't you mean "the sum of the squares ..."?
The sum of the squares of two consecutive whole numbers is 25.  Find the numbers.  Let the first be represented by x and the second by x+1.
Then x^2+(x+1)^2=25.  Expanding, x^2+x^2+2x+1=25.
Rewriting this as a quadratic equation in standard form,

2x^2+2x+1=25, or 2x^2+2x-24=0.  Simplifying, x^2+x-12=0.
Factoring, (x-3)(x+4)=0.  Solving for x:  x-3=0, so x=3; x+4=0, so x=-4.
Choose the positive x value:  x=3.  Then the next consecutive number is 2+1=3+1=4.

Check:  Does 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 = 25?  Yes.
The numbers are 3 and 4.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

C. 40in

Step-by-step explanation:

a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2} \\

so...

24^{2} +32^{2} =c^{2}

24^{2} = 576\\32^{2} =1024

576+1024=1600

\sqrt{1600} = 40

the missing side = 40in
