Question

hypotenuse is 17 cm and base is 15 what is the mesurement of perpedicular

Answer 1

hey dear here is your answer



hypotenuse =17 CM

base = 15 CM
perpendicular length which is also called height =?

therefore
(Hy) *2 = (b) 2 +(h) 2

(17)2 =( 15)2 +h2

289= 225+ h2

h2= 289-225

h2 = 64

h =√64

h = 8 CM


so perpendicular length =8cm

hope helps you

Answer 2

H²=P²+B²
P²=H²-B²
P=√H²-B²
=√17²-15²
√289-225
=√64=8 cm
