Step-by-step explanation:

Length of third side

[tex] = \sqrt{ {24}^{2} + {16}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{576 + 256} \\ = \sqrt{832} \\ = 28.84 \\ \approx \: 28.8 \: in[/tex]

Or

Length of third side

[tex] = \sqrt{ {24}^{2} - {16}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{576 - 256} \\ = \sqrt{320} \\ = 17.8885438 \\ \approx \: 17.9 \: in[/tex]
