Answer 1

• x = 8

Solution:

We will solve this using Pythagoras theorem.

• The square of the length of hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of square of its base and Perpendicular.

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ➙ H² = P² + B²

Here, we have :

• Perpendicular = x
• Hypotenuse = 17
• Base = 15

➝ H² = P² + B²

➝ P² = H² - B²

➝ x² = 17² - 15²

➝ x² = 289 - 225

➝ x² = 64

➝ x = √ 64

➝ x = 8
