To find the missing side length of the right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the two shorter sides (10 and 24) and c is the length of the hypotenuse (missing side).
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = c^2
676 = c^2
c = √676
c = 26
Therefore, the missing side length is 26. So the correct answer is B.
