Something that a right triangle is characterised by is the fact that we may use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of any one of its sides, given that we know the length of the other two sides. Here, we know the length of the hypotenuse and one other side, therefor we can easily use the theorem to solve for the remaining side.
Now, Pythagoras' Theorem is defined as follows:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.
Given that we know that c = 24 and a = 8, we can find b by substituting c and a into the formula we defined above:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
24^2 = 8^2 + b^2 (Substitute c = 24 and a = 8)
b^2 = 24^2 - 8^2 (Subtract 8^2 from both sides)
b = √(24^2 - 8^2) (Take the square root of both sides)
b = √512 (Evaluate 24^2 - 8^2)
b = 16√2 (Simplify √512)
= 22.627 (to three decimal places)
I wasn't sure about whether by 'approximate length' you meant for the length to be rounded to a certain number of decimal places or whether you were meant to do more of an estimate based on your knowledge of surds and powers. If you need any more clarification however don't hesitate to comment below.

The number that twice the sum of it and negative seven is eight is 11.
<h3>How to find the number ?</h3>
Twice the sum of the number and negative seven is eight. The number can be found as follows:
let
the number = x
According to the word expression, twice the value of the addition of x and minus seven is equals to 8. Hence, we will find the value of x in the equation formed from the words expression.
The variable x is the required number.
Therefore,
2(x + (-7)) = 8
2(x - 7) = 8
open the brackets
2(x - 7) = 8
2x - 14 = 8
add 14 to both sides of the equation
2x - 14 = 8
2x - 14 + 14 = 8 + 14
2x = 22
divide both sides by 2
x = 22 / 2
x = 11
