Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is a right triangle, in right triangles the sum of square value of two legs (base and height) is equal to square value of hypotenuse.
Now, know the value of base and hypotenuse are 24 and 26
let x represent the missing side:
26^2 = x^2 + 24^2
676 = x^2 + 576 subtract 576 from both sides
100 = x^2 find the root of both sides
10 = x this is the length of the missing side
