Help me plz and thanks

Answer 1

Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is 17 yards.

Explanation:

-Use the Pythagorean Theorem:

`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`

-Put your measurements onto that equation:

`15^2+8^2=c^2`

-Then, you solve:

`15^2 + 8^2=c^2`

`225 +64=c^2`

`289 = c^2`

`√(289) = √(c^2)`

`17 = c`
