Question

If the height of the base is 15 and the width of the base is 8 what is the length of the hypotenuse

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

$15^2 + 8^2 = 17^2.$

I found this out by doing:

15 x 15 = 225

8 x 8 = 64

225 + 64 = 289

$\sqrt{289} = 17$

Hope this helps you! :)
