    The Pythagorean theorem applies. If the sides are designated by "a" and "b", and the hypotenuse is designated by "c", then that theorem tells you

    c² = a² + b²

    Filling in your numbers, we can solve for b.

    74² = 24² + b²

    74² - 24² = b² = 4900

    b = √4900 = 70

    The length of the third side is 70.
