c2=a2+b2
(17)2=(8)2+B2
289-64=B2
225=B2
B=√225
B=15 (ANS)

subhamkishoresinha: prateek your answer is correct but i want answer by pythagorus theorem
prateek66: i have done the question with pythagorus theorem only c represents hypotenuse while a and b are other two sides.

given, hypotenuse =17cm
let A =8 cm be the length of first leg and
B be the length of second leg of triangle
then, 17^2 -8^2=B^2
B^2=289-64=225
B=15cm

subhamkishoresinha: i want answer in pythagorus theorem
mawbleiwelldone: I, have already used the pythaguras theorem, I only don't write the formula and I write directly
