Question

***EASY***** HELP!!!!!! i have been crying over this problem for an hour. please help

Answer 1

h^2=p^2+b^2
p^2=h^2-b^2
p^2=17^2-8^2
p^2=289-64
p^2=225
p=15

Answer 2

UT = 15

Explanation:

Its okay this was a hard one to know. since its a 90 degrees angle you can use the Pythagorean theorem.

A^2 + B^2 =C^2

but in this case they give you c and as for b

so it be C^2 - A^2 = B^2

17^2 - 8^2 = B^2

289 - 64 = B^2

225 = B^2

now you square both sides getting B =
`√(225)`
