pytharorean therum...can only be used on right triangles
a^2 + b^2 = c^2...a and b r ur legs and c is ur hypotenuse
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = c^2
676 = c^2
sqrt 676 = c
26 = c <== ur hypotenuse is 26 cm

By Pythagoras' Theorem:

x² = 10² + 24²

x² = 100 + 576

x² = 676

x² = √676

x = 26

Hypotenuse = 26 cm
