Question

Find the hypotenuse of a triangle if two sides are 8 cm and 17 cm
​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 8 cm be it's perpendicular

h^2=p^2 + b ^2

(17)^2= (8)^2 + b^2

289=64 + b^2

289-64=b^2

225 = b^2

root 225 = b

15 cm = b

So the length of another side is 15 cm
