Use the pythagorean theorem a.k.a{a}^{2} +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}
c is the hypotenuse while a & b are the legs
{15}^{2}   +  {b}^{2} =  {17}^{2}
225 + {b}^{2} = 289
subtract 225 from 289
{b}^{2}  = 64
square root both b and 64
the other leg is equal to 8

Answer:

  • r = 4, s = 3, t = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solving quadratic equation:</u>

  • 5x² - 8x + 5 = 0
  • x = (-b ± √b²-4ac)/2a
  • x = (8 ± √8²-4*5*5)/2*5
  • x = (8 ± √64-100)/10
  • x = (8 ±√-36)/10
  • x = (8 ± 6i)/10
  • x = (4 ± 3i)/5

x = (r ± si)/t

r = 4, s = 3, t = 5
