Answer 2

By using Pythagoras Theorem:-

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)²+ (Perpendicular)²

Taking, Hypotenuse As H

Base As B

Perpendicular As P

_________________________

Solving The Question

H²= B²+ P²

$15 {}^{2} = 9 {}^{2} + p {}^{2} \\ \\ p {}^{2} = 15 {}^{2} + 9 {}^{2} \\ \\ p {}^{2} = 225 - 81 \\ \\p {}^{2} = 144 \\ \\ p = \sqrt{144} \\ \\ p = 12$
