sqrt(262 - 102) = sqrt(676 - 100) = sqrt(576) = 24 feet.

The length of one leg of a right triangle is 10ft and the length of the hypotenuse is 2 ft longer than the other leg What is the length of the hypotenuse and the other leg?
If the other leg has length X. Knowing the rule for triangles a^2+b^2=c^2 and that hypotenuse is x+2 10^2 + X^2 = (X+2)^2 you can solve to find X = 24 and the hypotenuse is 26.
The length of one leg of a right triangle is 8 ft The length of the hypotenuse is 2 feet loonger than the other leg Find the length of the hypotenuse and the other leg?
Suppose the other leg is x. Then the hypotenuse is x+2 So, by Pythagoras, (x+2)2 = 82 + x2 or, x2 + 4x + 4 = 64 + x2 so 4x = 60 so x = 15 and the hypotenuse is 17

The length of one leg of a right triangle is 10ft and the length of the hypotenuse is 2 ft longer than the other leg What is the length of the hypotenuse and the other leg?
If the other leg has length X. Knowing the rule for triangles a^2+b^2=c^2 and that hypotenuse is x+2 10^2 + X^2 = (X+2)^2 you can solve to find X = 24 and the hypotenuse is 26.

In a right triangle the length of the hypotenuse is 20 inches and the length of one leg is 15 inches what is the length of the other leg?
There is a famous theorem that you use to solve this problem, namely the Pythagorean theorem which says that the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the opposite sides. (The hypotenuse is the longest side; the other sides are commonly called legs.) If you know the hypotenuse and one leg you can find the other leg by simple algebra. Just subtract the square of the leg you know from the square of the hypotenuse and take the square root of this difference. Bingo! You have your answer.
