Jefrrey, this is the solution:

We will use the Pythagorean theorem to find out the missing side length, as follows:

• a = 15

,

• b = 8

,

• c = Hypotenuse

c² = a² + b ²

c² = 15² + 8²

c² = 225 + 64

c² = 289

Square root at both sides:

√c² = √289

c = 17 inches

The missing side length is 17 inches
