The lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 10 cm and 24 cm.

What is the length of the hypotenuse?

32 cm

29 cm

34 cm

26 cm

In order for us to get the hypotenuse of a right triangle, let's follow the Pythagorean Equation:

h^2 = a^2 + b^2

Getting the hypotenuse:

h = square root (a^2 + b^2)

h = square root (10 ^2 + 24^2)

h = square root (100 + 576)

h = square root (676)

h = 26

So the hypotenuse is equal to 26 cm.
