A Correct answer
Explanation

In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse c is sqrt(a^2 + b^2). sqrt(24^2 + 7^2) = sqrt(576 + 49) = sqrt(625) = 25.

AI explanation

Using the Pythagorean theorem for a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse squared equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Calculating this gives 24 squared plus 7 squared, which is 576 plus 49, totaling 625. The square root of 625 is 25 cm.
