Help me plz and thanks

Answer 1

Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is 17 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

-Use the Pythagorean Theorem:

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

-Put your measurements onto that equation:

$15^2+8^2=c^2$

-Then, you solve:

$15^2 + 8^2=c^2$

$225 +64=c^2$

$289 = c^2$

$\sqrt{289} = \sqrt{c^2}$

$17 = c$
