Length of the base = 8
Length of the hypotenuse = 17
The length of the third side ''".
Using Pythagoras theorem, we have
(Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)²
+ (8)² = (17)²
+ 64 = 289
= 289 - 64
= 225
=
=
Therefore, the length of the missing side is
.
(15)² + (8)² = (17)²
225 + 64 = 289
289 = 289
L.H.S. = R. H. S.
Hence verified.
