We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the length of the other side of the triangle:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides.
Substituting the given values, we get:
30^2 = 24^2 + b^2
Simplifying and solving for b, we get:
900 = 576 + b^2
b^2 = 324
b = sqrt(324) = 18
Therefore, the length of the other side of the triangle is 18cm.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides.
