Question

PLEASE HELP ME I have been asking for over 2 weeks just help!! What is this and how did you get the answer. I can’t find the perfect square.

Answer 1

17 cm

Explanation:

1. To solve this this problem, we can use the formula of the Pythagorean Theorem:
`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`

• -> a and b = legs of triangle
• -> c = hypotenuse

2. (Solving)

Step 1: Plug in values.

• 
  `(8)^2+(15)^2=c^2`

Step 2: Simplify both sides of the equation.

• 
  `64 + 225 = c^2`
• 
  `289 = c^2`

Step 3: Take square root of both sides.

• 
  `√(289) = √(c^2)`
• 
  `17 = c`

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

• 
  `8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2`
• 
  `64 + 225 = 289`
• 
  `289 = 289`

Therefore, x = 17 cm.

Answer 2

x=17

Explanation:

Pythagoras theory

a^2 +B^2=c^2

15^2+8^2=C^2

225+64=C^2

`√(289)`=C

C=17
