Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In a right angled triangle

• hypotenuse = 17m (llongest side of the right angled triangle)
• opposite side = 11m
• adjacent side = ?

According to pythogoreous theorem

opposite side² + adjacent side²  = hypotenuse ²

11²+ adjacent side²  = 17²

adjacent side²  = 17² - 11²

adjacent side² =  289 - 121

adjacent side² = 168

adjacent side = $\sqrt{168}$

adjacent side = 12.9614813968 m

Check :

pythagorean triplet

$12.9614813968^{2}$ + $11^{2}$ = $17^{2}$

168+ 121 = 289

289 = 289
