Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find a

c = hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle

a² + b² = c²

a² + 24² = 26²

a² = 100

a = 10

<em>Or solving another way,</em>

3-4-5

5-12-13

6-8-10

7-24-25

These are special right triangles.

5 - 12 - 13 => 5x2 - 12x2 - 13x2 => 10 - 24 -26

so, a = 10

Hope this helps ^-^

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the <u>Pythagorean Theorem</u> to find the unknown side.

a^2+b^2=c^2

<h3>We are given that:</h3>
  • b=24
  • c=26

We need to solve for a.

a^2+24^2=26^2\\\\ \text {Solve Exponents:}\\\rightarrow 24^2 = 576\\\rightarrow 26^2 = 676\\\\a^2+576=676\\\rightarrow a^2+576-576=676-576 \text{ (Subtraction Property of Equality)}\\a^2=100\\\sqrt{a^2} =\sqrt{100} \text { (Take the square root on both sides.) }\\\\\boxed {a=100}

<em>Option C should be the correct answer.</em>
