Choice B is correct. The Pythagorean theorem states that for a right triangle, c2 = a2 +b2, where c represents the length of the hypotenuse and a and b represent the lengths of the legs. It’s given that in triangle ABC, angle B is a right angle. Therefore, triangle ABC is a right triangle, where the hypotenuse is side AC and the legs are sides AB and BC. It’s given that the lengths of sides AB and BC are 10 √37 and 24√37 , respectively. Substituting these values for a and b in the formula c2 = a2 +b2 yields c2 = (10 37)2 +(24 37)2 , which is equivalentChoice B is correct. The Pythagorean theorem states that for a right triangle, c2 = a2 +b2, where c represents the length of the hypotenuse and a and b represent the lengths of the legs. It’s given that in triangle ABC, angle B is a right angle. Therefore, triangle ABC is a right triangle, where the hypotenuse is side AC and the legs are sides AB and BC. It’s given that the lengths of sides AB and BC are 10 √37 and 24√37, respectively. Substituting these values for a and b in the formula c2 = a2 +b2 yields c2 = (10 37)2 +(24 37)2 , which is equivalent to c2 = 100(37)+576(37), or c2 = 676(37). Taking the square root of both sides of this equation yields c = ±26 37 . Since c represents the length of the hypotenuse, side AC, c must be positive. Therefore, the length of side AC is 26 √37.
Choice A is incorrect. This is the result of solving the equation c = 24√37- 10√37, not c2 = (10√37 )2 +(24√37)2 . Choice C is incorrect. This is the result of solving the equation c = 10 √37 +24√37, not c2 = (10√37 )2 +(24√37 )2 . Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
