Answer:
17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A right angle has 3 sides: the adjacent, the opposite and the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is the largest side of the right angle
The shorter sides are 15 feet and 8 feet which should represent opposite and adjacent sides respectively
Opposite = 15 feet
Adjacent = 8 feet
Hypotenuse = x feet
Using Pythagoras theorem to solve
Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²
x² = 15² + 8²
x² = 225 + 64
x² = 289
Find the square root of both sides
√x² = √289
x = 17 feet
The 3rd side is 17 feet
Your answer is C cause to corresponds to it!
Well round to the nearest cent means to the nearest .01
So if the number is ex .0328
You round to .03
And if the number is ex .06831
You round to .07
Meaning if the number after .01 or .0_ is greater than 5 than you round up and if it's 4 or lower than you keep the number there
Sorry can't do much if this is an actual problem because you only said round to the nearest cent.

Answer:
A). PR = 16.13 ft
B). QR = 9.64 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Part (A).
From the figure attached,
ΔPQR is a right triangle,
m(PQ) = 14 ft
m(QR) = 8 ft
By applying Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²
(PR)² = (PQ)² + (QR)²
(PR)² = (14)² + (8)²
PR = √260
= 16.125
≈ 16.13 ft
Part (B).
If PR = 17 feet
and PQ = 14 feet
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔPQR,
PR² = PQ² + QR²
(17)² = (14)² + (QR)²
(QR)² = 289 - 196
QR = √93
= 9.644
≈ 9.64 ft
