Question

the hypotenous of right triangle us 17 cm ling .if one side of the remaining two sides is of lenght 8 cm,find the lenght of the third side.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the right angle triangle ABC

right angle at b

let the other side be x

by pythgores thm.

ab²+bc²=ac²

8²+x²=17²

64+x²=289

x²=289-64

x²=225

x=√225

x=15

the other side of triangle is 15

Answer 2

Answer:

15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

by Pythagoras theorem,

AB^2 = BC^2+CA^2

17^2 = 8^2 + CA^2

289 = 64 + CA^2

289 -64 = CA^2

225 = CA ^2

CA = 15cm

$\sqrt{225}$
