Answer:
Solution:
We will solve this using Pythagoras theorem.
- The square of the length of hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of square of its base and Perpendicular.
ㅤㅤㅤ➙ H² = P² + B²
Here, we have :
- Perpendicular = x
- Hypotenuse = 17
- Base = 15
➝ H² = P² + B²
➝ P² = H² - B²
➝ x² = 17² - 15²
➝ x² = 289 - 225
➝ x² = 64
➝ x = √ 64
➝ x = 8
