Find the length of the hypotenuse.

Use Pythagoras' theorem c2 = a2 + b2

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

since you already have the formular and the values just substitute them, collect like terms and solve you get your answer

Answer 2

Hypotenuse = 17

Explanation:

Given that,

• Perpendicular = 15
• Hypotenuse = ?
• Base = 8

Using Pythagoras' Theorem,

• Pythagoras' Theorem = (Base)²+(Perpendicular)² = (Hypotenuse)²

Substituting the values,

• 
  `(8) {}^(2) +15 {}^(2) = ( \rm \: Hypotenuse) {}^(2)`
• 
  `64 + 225 = c {}^(2)`
• 
  `289 = c {}^(2)`
• 
  `√(289) = c {}^(2)`
• 
  `√(17 * 17) =c {}^(2)`
• 
  `\rm \: Hypotenuse = \boxed{17}`

Hence,the length of the hypotenuse is 17.
