Unfortunately, without the image in question, I cannot accurately determine the unknown side length or find an accurate answer. However, if you provide me with the image or describe the triangle in more detail, I would be happy to assist you in solving the problem.

To find the unknown side length on the left of the triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

According to the theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In this case, the left side is 15 and the bottom is 3. Let's call the unknown side length on the left "x".

Based on the Pythagorean Theorem, we can set up the equation as follows:

x^2 = 15^2 - 3^2

Simplifying further:

x^2 = 225 - 9

x^2 = 216

To find the value of x, we take the square root of both sides:

x = sqrt(216)

Using a calculator, we find that x ≈ 14.7.

Therefore, the unknown side length on the left of the triangle is approximately 14.7.
