Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem is c2 (c squared) = a2 (a squared) + b2 (b squared).
The side lengths (24 and 18) can be plugged in for a and b. C is the length of the hypotenuse.
24 Squared + 18 Squared= c squared
Use a calculator to help you.
24 squared is 576
18 squared is 324
So, 576+324=c squared
Simplify
900=c squared
Now use the squre root on both sides to get rid of the c squared. (use a calculator)
30=c
