Answer:
30 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' theorem, that is
The square on the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, thus
(1)
c² = 18² + 24² = 324 + 576 = 900
Take the square root of both sides
c = [tex]\sqrt{900}[/tex] = 30
(2)
c² = 8² + 15² = 64 + 225 = 289
Take the square root of both sides
c = [tex]\sqrt{289}[/tex] = 17
