Question

The legs of a right triangle are 10 centimeters and 24 centimeters long. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
Group of answer choices

22 centimeters

26 centimeters

30 centimeters

34 centimeters

Answer 1

Answer:

26cm

Step-by-step explanation:

BY PYTHAGORAS THEOREM:

${x}^{2} = {10}^{2} + {24}^{2}$

${x}^{2} = 100 + 576$

${x}^{2} = 676$

$x = \sqrt{676}$

$x = 26$

therefore, lenght of hypotenuse is 26cm.

HOPE THAT HELPS!!

Answer 2

Answer:

26 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

10^2 + 24^2 = hypotenuse. (Pythagoras theorem)

=100 + 576

= 676

hypotenuse = √676

= 26 cm
