What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle?

Answer:
AB²=AC²+ BC²
[tex]AB = \sqrt{ {(8)}^{2} + {(15)}^{2} } [/tex]
[tex] = \sqrt{64 + 225} = \sqrt{289} = 17[/tex]
AB(hypotenuse)=17cm
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here Given
perpendicular (p)= 15 cm
base (b) = 8 cm
hypotenuse (h) = ?
We know by using Pythagoras theorem,
[tex]h^{2} =p^{2} +b^{2}[/tex]
[tex]h^{2} = 15^{2} + 8^{2}[/tex]
[tex]h^{2} = 225 +64[/tex]
[tex]h^{2} = 289[/tex]
[tex]h =\sqrt{289}[/tex]
Therefore h = 17 cm
