Answer:

Explanation:

To find a missing side length, Use Pythagorean Theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a^2 is 8, b^2 is 15 and c^2 is the missing side length.

8^2 + 15^2 = c^2

Simplify the exponents

64 + 225 = c^2

c^2 = 289

Square root c^2

sqrt rt of 289 = 17

so the missing length of the third side is 17
