Hello!
This is a right triangle therefore we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
The Pythagorean theorem is [tex] a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} [/tex]
c is the hypotenuse which is the side across the right angle
a and b are the other sides
Put in the values we know
[tex] 24^{2} + 7^{2} = c^{2} [/tex]
square the numbers
[tex]576 + 49 = c^{2} [/tex]
Add
[tex]625 = c^{2} [/tex]
Take the square root of 625
25 = c
The answer is 25
Hope this helps!
