To find the value of side b using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can use the formula:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where:
a = 24
c = 26
b = ?
Plugging in the values:
24^2 + b^2 = 26^2
576 + b^2 = 676
b^2 = 676 - 576
b^2 = 100
Taking the square root of both sides to solve for b:
b = √100
b = 10
Therefore, the length of side b is 10.
using the Pythagorean Theorem
the c is 26 and the a is 24 what is the b
