By using Pythagoras Theorem:-

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)²+ (Perpendicular)²

Taking, Hypotenuse As H

Base As B

Perpendicular As P

_________________________

Solving The Question

H²= B²+ P²


15 {}^(2) = 9 {}^(2) + p {}^(2) \\ \\ p {}^(2) = 15 {}^(2) + 9 {}^(2) \\ \\ p {}^(2) = 225 - 81 \\ \\p {}^(2) = 144 \\ \\ p = √(144) \\ \\ p = 12

Hope This Helps You ❤️
