    c ≅ 35.4 cm.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the length of the Hypotenuse of a triangle, the formula a² + b² = c² will need to be used. Therefore:

    26² + 24² = c² (c is the hypotenuse)

    1252 = c²

    √1252 = c

    c ≈35.38

    Round to tenths place:

    c ≅ 35.4 cm. This is the Hypotenuse of the triangle.
