Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse = side of the square

area of the square= 225 hence side of the square = 15 (square root of 225)

hypotenuse = 15

apply Pythagoras theorem

15square= 9square + another side square

225= 81 + x square

x square = 225 -81

x = square root of 144

x= 12
