Help ????? Pleasseee?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

There is a right triangle formed by the slant height, h and the radius

Use Pythagoras' theorem to solve for h

With radius = 8 ft ( half the diameter ) , slant height is hypotenuse

h² = 17² - 8² = 289 - 64 = 225

Take the square root of both sides

h =
`√(225)` = 15 → C
