Answer:
24 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
You use Pythagorean theorem. Since the normal equation is [tex]a^{2} + b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex], you already have the [tex]c^{2}[/tex] and another side which can be [tex]a^{2}[/tex] or [tex]b^{2}[/tex].
Because you have the hypotenuse and a side , your equation looks like this now: [tex]7^{2} +b^{2} = 25^{2}[/tex]
and when you solve for be you just subtract [tex]25^{2} -7^{2}[/tex] to get 24.
