Question

What is the length of the unknown side of the right triangle? (1 point)

Answer 1

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras theorem, we have the next:

For a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse x,

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

In our case, we have the next data:

a = 7 ;

b =24 ;

x = ?

The second picture, show the triangle to solve, that is:

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

$x^{2}=7^{2}+24^{2}$

$x^{2}= 49 + 576$

$x^{2}= 625$, solve x

$x = \sqrt{625}$

$x = 25$

Answer 2

X^2 = 7^2 + 24^2x^2 =49 + 576x^2 = 625
x = 25
