Answer:
The third side is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 =c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
a^2 +225 = 289
Subtract 225 from each side
a^2 +225-225=289-225
a^2 = 64
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(64)
a= 8
When the ratio is 1:1, either is 1/(1+1) = 1/2 the total.
If you round 23.19 to the nearest whole number you get 23 and if you round 13.7 you get 13. 13+23 is 33. The real numbers are 23.19 and 13.7, add them together and you get 36.89. The exact sum is 36.89 (:
