Question

Find the missing side of the triangle.​

Answer 1

17cm.

Step-by-step explaination:

The given triangle is a right angled triangle.

Using Pythagorean Theorem,

a² + b² = c²

Putting the given values in the equation;

(15)² + (8)² = c²

225 + 64 = c²

289 = c²

17² = c² (square root of 289 = 17)

17 = c

c = 17

Therefore, the missing side of the triangle is equal to 17 cm.

Answer 2

x = 17

Explanation:

x ^2 = 8^2+ 15^2

√x^2 =√64+225

x=17
