Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to find the value of X such that X2=72+242. This is a direct application of the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (X) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (7 and 24 in this case).
Calculate squares of numbers: Calculate the squares of 7 and 24. 72=49242=576Now, add these two values to find the sum of the squares.49+576=625
Set up equation for X2: Set up the equation for X2.X2=72+242X2=625
Solve for X: Solve for X.To find X, we take the square root of both sides of the equation.X=625X=25
