To find the missing side of the right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Let the missing side be represented by "a".
According to the Pythagorean theorem, we have the equation:
a^2 + 7^2 = 24^2
Simplifying the equation, we get:
a^2 + 49 = 576
Subtracting 49 from both sides, we have:
a^2 = 527
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
a ≈ 22.939
Therefore, the missing side of the right triangle is approximately 22.939.
