ANSWER-

Triangle ABD is a right-angled triangle. The value of s which is the hypotenuse of the triangle ABD is 17 units.

Given information:

From the given figure, the following information can be extracted:

•Triangle ABD is a right-angled triangle.

•Base AB is 8 units, Height BD is 15 units.

•s is the hypotenuse of the triangle ABD.

Use the Pythagoras theorem to solve for the value of s or AD.

  • AD² = AB ² + BD²
  • = 8² + 15²
  • = 289
  • s = 289
  • s = 17

Therefore, the value of s which is the hypotenuse of the triangle ABD is 17 units.
