General Idea:

Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, if side of triangle is given by ' a ', bottom of the triangle is given by ' b ' and hypotenuse of triangle is given by ' c', then Sum of squares of a and b is equal to the square of hypotenuse.

a^{2} \; +\; b^{2}\;  =\; c^{2}

Applying the Concept:

Given\\Side\;of\;triangle\;(a)\; =\;  8\\ Bottom\;of\;triangle\;(b)=15\\ \\ To\; Find\\Hyptotenuse\;(c)\\ \\ a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\\ 8^2+15^2=c^2\\ \\ 64+225=c^2\\ \\ 289=c^2\\ \\ c^2=289\\ Taking \; Square\;root\;on\;both\;sides\\ \\ \sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{289}  \\ \\ c=17

Conclusion:

The length of the missing side of the right triangle, when side 8 & bottom 15 is <u>17</u>. The correct answer is <u>option B</u>!!

Answer:

16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be x ft

Therefore, length = (x + 2) ft

Area of the rectangle = 15 square ft

x(x + 2) = 15 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  + 2x = 15 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  + 2x - 15 = 0 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  + 5x - 3x - 15 = 0 \\  \\ x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0 \\  \\ (x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 \\  \\ x + 5 = 0 \: or \:  \: x - 3 = 0 \\  \\ x =  - 5  \:  \: or \:  \: x = 3 \\  \\  \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \:  - ve \\  \\  \therefore \: x = 3 \\   \\  \implies \: x + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 \\  \\ perimeter \: of \: rectngle  \\ = 2(5 + 3)  \\  = 2 \times 5 \\  = 16 \: ft
