Question

the hypotense of a triangle is 17 cm. if one of the remaning two side is 8 cm then other side is​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse = 17cm

one side of a triangle=8cm

let other side be =x

by pathagareon theorem

(hypotenuse)²= (one side of a triangle)² + (other side)²

(17)² = (8)² + (x)²

289= 64 + x²

289-64 =x²

225 =x²

15= x

therefore other side is 15 cm long
