Answer: 26 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypoteneuse is the longest side in a triangle. From the question, we are already informed that a triangle has one leg of 24 inches and one leg of 10 inches.
To calculate the hypotenuse, we add the square of both legs together which are the opposite and adjacent and then find the square root. This will be
hypotenuse² = 24² + 10²
hypotenuse² = 576 + 100
hypotenuse² = 676
hypotenuse = ✓676
hypotenuse = 26
The hypothenuse is 26 inches
