Answer 1

Answer:

☆Hope it helps you☆

Step-by-step explanation:

Converse of Pythagorean Theorem states that:

In a triangle, if the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides then the angle opposite to the first side is a right angle.

So, 17

+15

289=64+225

289=289

So, the sides will form a right angled triangle.

Hypotenuse is the longest side

Therefore, 17 is the hypotenuse.

Answer 2

Answer:

by pythagoras theorem we can do so

pythagoras theorem says that square of hypotenuse of triangle is equal to sum of square of other 2 side

Step-by-step explanation:

so by pythagoras theorem

(15)²+(8)²=(third side)²

225+ 64 =(third side )²

289 = (third side)²

root(289) = third side

so third side = 17
