The length of the unknown side of the right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs.

In this case, the unknown side is the hypotenuse, represented by x, and the two legs are 7 and 24.

Therefore, using the Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 = 7^2 + 24^2
x^2 = 49 + 576
x^2 = 625

Taking the square root of both sides, we find:

x = √625
x = 25

Therefore, the length of the unknown side of the right triangle is 25. Answer: 25
