Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Let's first establish that triangle BCD is a right-angle triangle.

Therefore, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find BC and solve this problem. Pythagoras theorem is displayed below:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where c = hypotenus of right-angle triangle

Where a and c = other two sides of triangle

Now we can solve the problem by substituting the values from the problem into the Pythagoras theorem as displayed below:

Let a = BC

b = DC = 24

c = DB = 26

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

a^2 = 26^2 - 24^2

a = square root of ( 26^2 - 24^2 )

a = square root of ( 676 - 576 )

a = square root of ( 100 )

a = 10

Therefore, as a = BC, BC = 10.

If we want to check our answer, we can substitute the value of ( a ) from our answer in conjunction with the values given in the problem into the Pythagoras theorem. If the left-hand side is equivalent to the right-hand side, then the answer must be correct as displayed below:

a = BC = 10

b = DC = 24

c = DB = 26

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

100 + 576 = 676

676 = 676

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, BC is equivalent to 10.
