Question

HELP ME !

A right triangle has legs that measure 8 inches and 15 inches.
A. 5 in.
B. 7 in.
C. 17 in.
D. 23 in.

Answer 1

C. 17

Explanation:

I'm assuming you need the hypotenuse so to get that you do

The square root of a^2 + b^2

a squared + b squared

So it becomes square root of 8^2 + 15^2

= square root of 64 + 225

= square root of 289

= 17

Hope this helps :)
