Question

the hypotenuse of a right triangel is 17 cm . if one of the remaining sides is 8 cm find the length of the other side​

Answer 1

hypotenuse square is equals to perpendicular square + base square

17 square is equals to 8 square + b square

289=64+b square

√289-64=b

b=√225

b=15cm

Answer 2

Answer:

15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(hyp)^2-(side)^2= (another side)^2

(17)^2-(8)^2= (another side)^2

289-64= (another side)^2

225= (another side)^2

(another side)= 15cm
