The lengths of two sides of the right triangle ABC shown in the illustration given a= 7cm and b= 24cm

25 cm.

Step-by-step explaination:

Given,

Two sides of a triangle:

a = 7cm

b = 24 cm

To find,

Third side:

c = ?

By Pythagorean Theorem;

a² + b² = c²

[where c is the longest side,hypotenuse]

Putting the value of a and b;

we get,

7² + 24² = c²

49 + 576 = c²

625 = c²

25² = c² (square root)

25 = c

c = 25

Therefore, the length of the third side will be equal to 25 cm.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
