Answer:

√161 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given a right triangle (notice the right angle), the measure of one of the legs (one of the sides that make up the right angle) as 8 yd, and the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angle) as 15 yd.

We need to find x, which is the other leg in the triangle

If we are given 2 sides and need to find a third, we can use Pythagorean Theorem, which states that a²+b²=c² if a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse

In this case, a=8, b=x, and c=15

So let's substitute those values into the formula

(8)²+x²=(15)²

raise everything to the second power

64+x²=225

subtract 64 from both sides

x²=161

take the square root of both x and 161

x=√161, x=-√161

-√161 cannot work in this case, as distance cannot be negative.

The question asks for the answer to be in simplified radical form, but √161 cannot be simplified down further

so the answer is <u>√161 yd</u>

Hope this helps! :)
