What is the length of side x in the above right triangle​

its answer will be 9.first by using phythagorus theorem h^2=p^2+b^2'then h=15,p=12and b=x. again by putting the values of h ,p and b we get ,(15)^2=(12)^2+x^2. 225=144+x^2, x^2=225-144, x^2=81,x=√81,x=9 answer

step-by-step explanation:

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
