Question

two legs of a right triangle are 8 cm and 15 cm long find the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle​

Answer 1

Answer:

8^2 +15^2 =289

√289 =17

so hypotenuse is 17 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of hypotenuse will be 17

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagorean theory,

       Hypotenuse=$\sqrt{base^{2}+length^{2} }$

Then, the hypotenuse=$\sqrt{15^{2}+8^2 }$

                                   =$\sqrt{225+64}$

                                   =$\sqrt{289}$

                                    =17
