Question

hey guy answer it fast​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras theorem:-

8^2 + x^2 = 17^2

64 + x^2 = 289

x^2 = 225

√x^2 = √225

x = 15

therefore the altitude of this right angled triangle is 15m

can u please mark me as brainlist

Answer 2

$\bf\underline{\underline{\blue{SOLUTION:-}}}$

Question

• Calculate the altitude of a right angle triangle whose hypotenuse = 17 and base = 8 m

Answer

• Altitude = 15m

Given

• Hypotenuse = 17m
• base = 8m

To Calculate

• altitude __?

Step by step explanation

By Pythagoras theorem

${\boxed{\red{\tt{H²= p²+b²}}}}$

Where

base = 8m

hypotenuse = 17m

putting values,

➩ 17²= p²+ 8²

➩ 289= p²+ 64

➩ 289-64= p²

➩ p²= 225

➩ p= 15

$\bf\underline{\underline{\blue{HENCE:-}}}$

• Altitude = 15 m
