To find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Using this theorem, we can calculate the length of the hypotenuse:
Hypotenuse^2 = 8^2 + 15^2
Hypotenuse^2 = 64 + 225
Hypotenuse^2 = 289
Hypotenuse = √289
The square root of 289 is 17.
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 17.
Hypotenuse^2 = 8^2 + 15^2
Hypotenuse^2 = 64 + 225
Hypotenuse^2 = 289
Hypotenuse = √289
The square root of 289 is 17.
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 17.
