Please help me i suck at geominty

Answer 1

Hello!

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.

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

c is the hypotenuse which is the side opposite of the right angle
a and b are the other sides

Put in the values you know

$a^{2} + 24^{2} = 25^{2}$

Square the numbers

$a^{2} + 576 = 625$

Subtract 576 from both sides

$a^{2} = 49$

Take the square root of both sides

a = 7

The answer is 7

Hope this helps!
