Question

Find the length of other side of a
right angled triangle, if one side is
8 cm and Hypotenuse is 17cm.
​

Answer 1

let the other side of a right angled triangle is X

By Pythagoras theorem ,

[ Hypotenuse ]² = [ first side ]² + [ second side ]²

[ 17 ]² = [ 8 ] ² + [ X ] ²

289 = 64 + x²

289 - 64 = x²

225 = x²

√225 = x

15 = x

So , the other side of the right angled triangle is 15 cm .

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras

${hypotenuse}^{2} = {perpendicular}^{2} + {base}^{2}$

therefore

$17^{2} = 8^{2} + (other side) ^{2}$

${other side}^{2} = 289 - 64$

${other side}^{2} = 225$

other side = square root of (225)

other side = 15 cm
