Answer:

the first triangle is 10

the second triangle is 8

Explanation:

1. the formula for this is a²+b²=c²

c is the missing side

add in the numbers and you get 8²+6²=c²

8² is 64 and 6² is 36. 64+36 = 100

then find the square root of 100, which is 10

2. the formula for this is c²-b²=a²

17² - 15² = a²

289-225 = 64

the square root of 64 is 8
