1. solve for the missing side of each right triangle belo

not an integer, express it in simplest radical form.
(a)

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

Let the missing hypotenuse be $c$, legs $a=10$, $b=24$.
$$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$$

Step2: Substitute values into formula

$$c^2 = 10^2 + 24^2 = 100 + 576$$

Step3: Calculate sum and take square root

$$c^2 = 676 \implies c = \sqrt{676} = 26$$

Answer:

26
