Question

c = yards
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

$$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$$
Here \(a = 24\), \(b=7\). So \(c^{2}=24^{2}+7^{2}\)

Step2: Calculate \(24^{2}\) and \(7^{2}\)

\(24^{2}=24\times24 = 576\), \(7^{2}=7\times7=49\)
Then \(c^{2}=576 + 49\)

Step3: Sum the values

\(c^{2}=625\)

Step4: Take square root

\(c=\sqrt{625}\)
\(c = 25\)

Answer:

\(25\)
