Answer:

8:17

Step-by-step explanation:

With ratios, you're relating one piece of information to another. Here, it's asking you to relate the shortest leg (8 in.) to the hypotenuse (17 in.). A ratio is formed by putting a semi-colon (:) between your relations, so your answer to this question will be 8:17.
