Rudy Jacobs · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

10^2 + b^2 = 26^2

100 + b^2 = 676

-100 - 100

b^2 = 576

square root of b equals b

square root of 576 equals 24

The other leg equals 24

Layne · Answer 2

24mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoreans Theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2

a^2+10^2=26^2

a^2+100=676

a^2=576

a = sqrt 576

a=24mm
