What is trigonometry?

The branch of mathematics sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle are termed trigonometry.

It is given that:-

Side AC is 8 cm

Side CB is 15 cm

By using the Pythagorean theorem:-

AB² =  AC²  +  BC²

AB² =  8²     +   15²

AB² =  64    +    225

AB² =  289

AB  =  √289

AB  =  17  cm

Hence the length of the hypotenuse AB will be equal to 17 cm.
