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

14. Two parallel lines l and m are intersected by a transversal t. If the interior angles on same side of transversal are (2x−8)
nlexa [21]

Answer:

70° and 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, two parallel lines l and m are intersected by a transversal t.

The interior angles on same side of transversal are (2x−8)° and (3x−7)°.

We need to find the measure of these angles.

We know that, the sum of interior angles of the same side of the  transversal is equal to 180°. So,

(2x−8)° + (3x−7)° = 180°

⇒ 5x-15=180°

⇒5x=180°+15

⇒5x=195

⇒x=39

Put x = 39 in (2x−8)°,

(2x−8)° = (2(39)-8)°

=70°

Again put x = 39 in (3x−7)°,

(3x−7)° = (3(39)-7)°

=110°

So, the measure of these angles are 70° and 110°.
