Answer 2

Answer:

30 in

Step-by-step explanation:

With maths problems, first thing to do is to identify clearly the information that you have (from the question) and what you want to find;

Here, we have a right-angle triangle and given 2 of the sides, we are asked to find the other;

Considering this, if you've learnt it well and done plenty of practice, then you should realise pythagoras theorem can be applied to get the unknown side;

The square of the two given sides added will give the square of the unknown side:

(24)² + (18)² = x²

576 + 324 = x²

x² = 900

x = sqrt(900)

x = 30
