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