Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
What is the length of leg y of the right triangle?
A right triangle with hypotenuse 26 and legs 24 and y
We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, where [tex]h=26[/tex] and [tex]x=24[/tex],
[tex]h^{2} =x^{2} +y^{2}\\ 26^{2}=24^{2}+y^{2}\\y=\sqrt{26^{2}-24^{2}}\\ y=\sqrt{676-576}\\ y=\sqrt{100}\\ y=10[/tex]
Therefore, the right answer is A. The length of the missing leg is 10 units.
