Answer:

B.

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

In this case it's c^2=a^2+b^2

c^2=15^2+36^2

c^2=225+1296

c^2=1521

c= the square root of 1521

c=39

So...

the length of line segment BC is 39

Answer:

B (39)

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) and X=BC length

15^2+36^2=x

225+1296=x

√1521=x

x=39
