Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2
this theorem only works on triangles with an angle of 90 degrees or a right triangle.
18^2 + 24^2 = 900
the square root of 900 is 30
I did the square root of 900 because the square root is the 'opposite' of squaring which is what you need to do in order to find 'c' is the Pythagorean theorem. 'a' is 18, and 'b' is 24
Answer is 30
