Answer:

17.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation: Each side would be 19 cm since a triangle has three sides. Next, we will use pythagorean theory. Since the equation would be a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since 19^2 is 361 and is getting subtracted by 64 (we get it because at the bottom, we have to split it. also, 8 squared is 64). Then we get 297, which the base root with one number behind the decimal would be 17.2 cm.
