KjSaif (kjsaif):
the pathagorean thereom states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. So you just plug in the numbers.
(10)^2 + (24)^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = C^2
676 = C^2
then you take the square root of 676 which is 26

OpenStudy (anonymous):
56. 10 + 24 = 34 + 56 = 90
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so i am correct ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, KJSaif was probably doing the formula for something else.

Maybe surface area?
OpenStudy (rushwr):
Actually he is correct @Monkey4224 @JColon25 He used the pythagorean theorem. And the answer is 26 too. !
OpenStudy (rushwr):
it states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
