a² + b² = c²
Where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
So, plug in 10 for one of the legs and 24 for the other leg
c will be left blank because that is what you are trying to find, the hypotenuse
10² + 24² = c²
100 + 576 = c²
676 = c²
Take the square root of both sides of the equation to isolate c
√676 = √c²
Square of c and the square root cross out on the right
Take the square root of 676
c = 26
So, the length of the hypotenuse is 26 centimeters
