Question

right angle triangle if the length of legs are 8 cm and 15 CM respectively find the length of third side will be​

Answer 1

Hey User!

Let the triangle be ABC

Base AB = 15 cm

Altitude BC = 8 cm

Hypotenuse CA = x cm

For finding the third side ( hypotenuse ) we'll apply Pythagoras Theorem

( CA )² = ( AB )² + ( BC )²

( x )² = ( 15 )² + ( 8 )²

x² = 225 + 64

x² = 289

x² = √289

x = 17 cm

Therefore, CA ( hypotenuse ) is 17 cm
