Question

the hypothenuse of a right triangle 17 cm long. If one of the remaining two side is of lenght 8 cm , find the length of the third side​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pythagoras theorem,

(AB)²+(BC)²=(AC)²

8²+(BC)²=17²

BC² = 17²-8²

BC²=289 - 64

BC² = 225

BC = 15

THIRD SIDE IS 15 CM

Answer 2

Answer: 15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

H^2=P^2+B^2

17^2=8^2+B^2

289=64+x^2(taking b as x)

289-64=x^2

225=x^2

√225=x

15cm=x
