The hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Using this theorem, we can calculate the length of the hypotenuse:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 10^2 + 24^2
c^2 = 100 + 576
c^2 = 676
c = √676
c ≈ 26 cm
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is approximately 26 cm.
