Question
Chapter J.28, Problem 1E
To determine
The length of the third side of the given right
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1E
The length of the third side of the given right triangle is 17.
Explanation of Solution
Theorem used:
In any right triangle, if a and b are the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse, then the Pythagorean equation is
Calculation:
From the given figure, it is clear that the length of the legs are 15 and 8.
Use Pythagorean Theorem and obtain the length of the side c as follows.
On further simplifications,
Therefore, the length of the third side of the given right triangle is 17.
