Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth

the length of 3rd side is 15

Length of the base = 8

Length of the hypotenuse = 17

The length of the third side ''".

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have

(Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)²

+ (8)² = (17)²

+ 64 = 289

  = 289 - 64

  = 225

  =

  =

Therefore, the length of the missing side is tex]15[/tex].

 (15)² + (8)² = (17)²

225 + 64 = 289

 289 = 289

 L.H.S. = R. H. S.

Hence verified.
