Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is 26 cm
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram
The triangle ABC is drawn as described such that the right angle is at point C and line AB is the hypotenuse which is yet unknown.
Since we have a right angled triangle with two sides known and one unknown, we can apply the Pythagoras theorem which states that
AC² = AB² + BC² where AC is the hypotenuse and AB and BC are the other two sides
In this question the hypotenuse is AB, so we now have;
AB² = AC² + CB²
AB² 24² + 10²
AB² = 576 + 100
AB² = 676
Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation
√AB² = √676
AB = 26
Therefore the length of the hypotenuse is 26 cm
