Answer:

14.1

Explanation:

Hey There!

This is a right triangle so we have to use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing side

given the hypotenuse and a leg we do


hypotenuse^2-given.leg^2


15^2-5^2=?^2\\15^2=225\\5^2=25\\225-25=200\\√(200) =14.1421356

then we just round to the nearest tenth and get that

?=14.1
