  • Answer:

    Below in bold.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The longest side is calculated using Pythagoras:

    x^2 = 10^2 + 24^2 = 676

    x = √676 = 26 inches.

    So Hank needs 10+24+26 = 60 inches of tape.

  • Answer:

    60

    Step-by-step explanation:

    okay, so we know that 2 sides of the triangle measure 24 in. and 10 in. if I got the info correct, kind of hard to read and understand it. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this. The Pythagorean theorem is [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex].

    now, we put in 24 and 10 for a and b.

    We try to figure out what c is.

    [tex]24^{2} + 10^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

    = 576 + 100 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

    = 676 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

    Now we need to square root both sides to find the amount of c.

    = [tex]\sqrt{676} = c[/tex]

    The square root of 676 is 26!

    Now, you just need to add 24 + 26 + 10 = 60!
