Answer:
22.6
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 We know one of the legs and the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse must be c. The leg that we do know can be a or b. It is our choice. I am going to let it be a
8^2 + b^2 = 24^2 Plug in the numbers that I know
64 + b^2 = 576 Square the numbers that I know
b^2 = 512 Subtract 64 from both sides
b = 22.6 Put this in your calculator to find the square root and round.
