To find the value of c, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b).
Given that a = 7 and b = 24, we can substitute these values into the equation.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2 + 24^2 = c^2
49 + 576 = c^2
625 = c^2
Taking the square root of both sides, c = √625.
Therefore, c = 25.
a = 7
b = 24
c = ?
a2+b2=c2
