Answer:

17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem:

{a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}

The rectangular storage unit is split into 2 right triangles since it is 17 feet diagonally. So, 17 feet is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

{8}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  ={17}^{2}

Once you solve everything you will find that x^2 = 225, so x = 15 ft. That is the length of the storage unit.
