Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

C= A+B

17=8+B

B= 17-8

B=9

Answer 2

Given :

• Hypotenuse of a right triangle is 17cm.

• One of its side is 8cm.

To Find :

• Length of the other side .

Solution :

Using Pythagoras Theoram :

$\longmapsto\tt{{(AC)}^{2}={(AB)}^{2}+{(BC)}^{2}}$

$\longmapsto\tt{{(17)}^{2}={(8)}^{2}+{(BC)}^{2}}$

$\longmapsto\tt{289=64+{(BC)}^{2}}$

$\longmapsto\tt{289-64={(BC)}^{2}}$

$\longmapsto\tt{\sqrt{225}=BC}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{15=BC}$

$\bf\red{So , ~The~ Length~ of~ other ~Side~ is ~15cm .}$
