    C

    Use A^2+B^2=C^2

    10*10+B^2=26*26

    100+B^2=676

    B^2=676-100

    B^2'=576

    B=24

    C.) 24 millimeters

    our triangle's hypotenuse is 26^2 or 676

    Formula for hypotenuse A^2 + B^2 = C^2

    we know one leg so plug it in the formula 10^2=100 and we now the hypotenuse 26^2=676

    new equation 100+B^2=676

    we now that if we square 28 it would be too much and 18 would be too low, but if we plug in 24^2=576, and then add 100 it sums up to 676
