Right triangles have only two legs. The longest side is called the hypotenuse.
Assuming that you gave us the lengths of the legs, then
8^2 + 24^2 = c^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse.
64 + 576 = c^2
640 = c^2
sqrt(640) = c (There is a negative answer also, but it doesn’t make sense because the length cannot be negative.)
c = 8* sqrt(10) = approx 25.3 cm
On the other hand, if the 24 cm is the length of the hypotenuse, then
a^2 + 8^2 = 24^2
a^2 + 64 = 576
a^2 = 512
a = sqrt(512) = 16*sqrt(2) = approx. 22.6 cm
I hope this helps!

x^2 + y^2 = z^2
So, modify that equation to show the value of Z. Plug in the numbers and there you go.
