Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

11²+x²=15²

121+x²=225

225-121=104

√104= x

x= 10.2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pytagor - rule

15² = 11² +a²..... the length of the other leg is : a

225 = 121+a²

a² = 225-121

a² =104

a = √104

a = 10.19   .....answer : b. about 10.2 in.
