\begin{array}{llll} \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ a^2+o^2=c^2\implies o=√(c^2 - a^2) \end{array} \qquad \begin{cases} c=\stackrel{hypotenuse}{17}\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{15}\\ o=\stackrel{opposite}{BC} \end{cases} \\\\\\ BC=√( 17^2 - 15^2)\implies BC=√( 289 - 225 ) \implies BC=√( 64 )\implies BC=8
