Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Hypotenuse = 17cm

One side = 8cm

According to the Pythagoras theorem, the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

Let the other side to be found be 'x'

⇒ Hypotenuse² = Length of one side² + Lenth of other side²

⇒ [17]² = [8]² + [x]²

⇒ 289 = 64 + x²

⇒ x² = 289 - 64

⇒ x² = 225

⇒ x = √225

⇒ x = 15

∴ The length of the other side is 15cm
