Pythagoras Theorem:
The square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal in area to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
Given:
a = 7
b = 24
To Find:
The measure of the hypotenuse c.
Solution:
By using the Pythagoras Theorem, we get
[tex] {c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {c}^{2} = {7}^{2} + {24}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {c}^{2} = 49 + 576[/tex]
[tex]c = \sqrt{625} [/tex]
[tex]c = 25[/tex]
Answer:
Option A. 25 is the correct answer.
