Question

In a right triangle the legs are 10 and 24. Find the length of the hypotenuse.
A. 10
B. 24
C. 26
D. 12

Answer 1

26 :)

Answer 2

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to crank out the hypotenuse.

!0^2 + 24^2 = h^2 where h is the hypotenuse.

If you know about the Pythagorean Triples, you can get to the answer somewhat faster.
