26.
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out the missing side of a right triangle, we will use the Pythagorean theorem. This is...
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
With this Pythagorean theorem, a and b will always be the legs and the c will always be the hypotenuse, no matter what. Now knowing this, we can plug the legs into the equation.
[tex]10^2+24^2=c^2[/tex]
[tex]100+576=c^2[/tex]
Add the legs together.
[tex]676=c^2[/tex]
Now, since c is squared we will have to find the square root of 676.
[tex]\sqrt{676}[/tex]
= 26
