Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse is 26 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The leg(brace) attached to the wall is 10 inches
Perpendicular = 10 inches
Your surfboard sits on a leg that is 24 inches.
Base = 24 inches
Formula : [tex]Hypotenuse^2 = Perpendicular^2 +Base^2[/tex]
[tex]Hypotenuse^2 = 10^2+24^2[/tex]
[tex]Hypotenuse = \sqrt{10^2+24^2}[/tex]
Hypotenuse = 26
Hence the length of the hypotenuse is 26 inches
