Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

 The triangle shown in the image attached is a right triangle.

Therefore, to calculate the missing lenght of the triangle you can apply the Pythagorean Theorem, which is shown below:

a^2=b^2+c^2

Where <em>a</em> is the hypotenuse and <em>b</em> and <em>c</em> are the legs.

The problem gives you the value of the hypotenuse and the value of one leg. Therefore, you must solve for the other leg from a^2=b^2+c^2, as following:

17^2=15^2+c^2\\c=\sqrt{17^2-15^2}\\c=8

Therefore, the lenght of the missing side is: 8

Answer:

The value of third side= 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given a right angled triangle with base = 15 and hypotenuse = 17

We have to find the height of given triangle.

<u>Points to remember</u>

By Pythagorean theorem

Base² + Height² = Hypotenuse²

<u>To find the third side</u>

Here base = 15 and hypotenuse = 17

We have,

Base² + Height² = Hypotenuse²

Height² = Hypotenuse² - Base² = 17² - 15² = 64

Height = √64 = 8 units

Therefore the value of third side = 8 units
