To find the length of the missing side in the triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. According to the theorem, in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In this case, we can see that one side has a length of 10 and the other side has a length of 24. Let's represent the missing side as x. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can set up the equation:
x^2 = 10^2 + 24^2
x^2 = 100 + 576
x^2 = 676
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
x = √676
x = 26
Therefore, the length of the missing side is 26.
Therefore, the correct answer is b) 26.
