Answer:

D. 13.267 m

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

7^2 + b^2 = 15^2

49 + b^2 = 225

Subtract 49 from each side

b^2 = 225-49

b^2 =176

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(176)

b = sqrt(176)

b = 13.266
