The equation to find the right triangle is a^2+b^2=c^2 or the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2 Substitute the values
18^2+26^2=c^2 Solve the powers
324+676=c^2 Simplify
1000=c^2 Solve the the square
31.6=c

We use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.

Formula: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Plug in the values for variables  a and b to find c:

c² = 18² + 26²

c² = 1000

c = √1000

c = 31.6  in

Answer: 31.6 in
