    We use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.

    Formula:a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

    Plug in the values for variables a and b to find c:

    c² = 18² + 26²

    c² = 1000

    c = √1000

    c = 31.6 in

    Answer: 31.6 in

    The equation to find the right triangle is a^2+b^2=c^2 or the Pythagorean Theorem.

    a^2+b^2=c^2 Substitute the values

    18^2+26^2=c^2 Solve the powers

    324+676=c^2 Simplify

    1000=c^2 Solve the the square

    31.6=c
