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 lengths of the other two sides.

Let's call the missing side of the right triangle "x". According to the given information, one side is 25 and the other side is 7.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

x^2 = 25^2 + 7^2
x^2 = 625 + 49
x^2 = 674

Now we need to find the square root of both sides to solve for x:

x = √674

Using a calculator, we find that x ≈ 25.98.

Therefore, the missing side of the right triangle, x, is approximately 25.98.
