Question

The hypotenuse of a triangle is 17cm long. If one of the remaining two sides is 8 in length. Find the length of the other sides.. And plz tell that how to ask next question I can not write 2 question...

Answer 1

Let the other side be x cm.
Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Altitude ^2
17^2= 8^2 + x^2
289= 64 +x^2
289-64=x^2
225=x^2
225^(1/2)=x
15=x
x=15

Therefore, other side is 15 cm.

HOPE THIS WILL HELP AND PLZ MARK THIS AS BRAINLIST.
