Find the value of the missing side in the figure below
A. 10
B. 14
C. 21
D. 28

Answer:
A. The missing value is 10m
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure shown in the diagram is a right angled triangle. The three sides are the hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent respectively.
We will be using Pythagoras theorem to solve for unknown side.
According to the theorem,
hypotenuse² = opposite²+adjacent²
Given hypotenuse = 26m
Opposite = 24m
Adjacent = a
26² = 24²+a²
a² = 26²-24²
a² = 676-576
a² = 100
a = √100
a = 10m
The value of the missing side in the figure below is 10 meters.
It should be noted that the longest side in a triangle is the hypotenuse. In this case, the longest side is 26m.
Therefore, to find the other side of the triangle goes thus:
Adjacent = 26² - 24²
Adjacent = 676 - 576
Adjacent = ✓100
Adjacent = 10
Therefore, the value of the missing side in the figure below is 10 meters.
