You marked this as history?
The hypotenuse is always the side with the greatest length. As the question asks for the largest possible length we have to calculate the hypotenuse.
Pythagoras theorem:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
a = 15 b = 2
15^2 + 2^2 = 229
Square root 229 to get side length which is equal to 15.13~
Since it asks for largest possible WHOLE NUMBER side length round down to 15
