A²+b²=c²

Where a=leg, b=base, and c=hypotenuse.

So, because we are given the side lengths of c and a, we simply plug everything in, and try to find b.

a²+b²=c²

8² + b² = 17²

Simplify.

64 + b² = 289

Subtract 64 from both sides.

b² = 289 - 64

Simplify.

b² = 225

b = $\sqrt{225}$

So, b = 15 inches

Find the degree measure of each angle in the triangle.

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

∠R = 56°
∠Q = 90°
∠S = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angled triangle.

So, the angles in the triangle are :

90°
(2x + 38)°
(5x - 11)°

Solving according to <u>angle sum property</u>,

Sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°

$\longrightarrow$ 90° + (2x + 38)° + (5x - 11)° = 180°

$\longrightarrow$ 117° + 7x = 180°

$\longrightarrow$ 7x = 180° - 117°

$\longrightarrow$ 7x = 63°

$\longrightarrow$ x = 9

Angles =

$\longrightarrow$ 2(9) + 38

$\longrightarrow$ 56°

$\longrightarrow$ 5(9) - 11

$\longrightarrow$ 34°

∠R = 56°
∠Q = 90°
∠S = 34°

The angles are 56°, 90° and 34°.
