y = 20 units


This seems to require the Pythagorean Theorem. So you’ll start with the formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Your a would be 24, and c would be 26. We’re solving for b then, so first you have to simplify.

24^2 + b^2 = 26^2 become 576 + b^2 = 676.

Then you have to subtract from both sides to isolate the unknown variable, b.

576 + b^2 = 676
-576 -576
b^2 = 100

Finally, you have to find the square root of 100.

b^2 = 100 —> b = 10

The length of the leg b, or y in your case, is 10.
