Question

A right triangle has legs of lengths 8 and 15.

The length of the hypotenuse is ______

Answer 1

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the Pythagorean Therom,

A sqared would be 8, and b squared would be 15

You square both of those to get 64+225=c^2

So now we have 289=c^2

You find the square root of 289= 17

Answer 2

Answer:

by Pythagoras theorem

H=the square root of 8 squared plus 15 squared
