Question

The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 17cm and one of the sides is 8cm. The other side is- *​

Answer 1

Let the other side be x cm

8^2+x^2=17^2

64+x^2=289

x^2=289-64

x^2=225

x=15

The other side is 15 cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the other side be y

hypotenuse² = base² + perpendicular²

= 17cm² = 8cm² + y²

= 289cm = 64cm + y²

= 289cm - 64cm = y²

= 225cm = y²

= √225cm = y²

= 15cm
