Answer:
? = 26 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
?² = 24² + 10² = 576 + 100 = 676 ( take the square root of both sides )
? = = 26
we have
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
Factor the leading coefficient
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
Rewrite as perfect squares
-----> equation in vertex form
therefore
the answer is the option C
