Apologies for the confusion in my previous response.
To find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 8 and 15, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Given a = 8 and b = 15, you can plug the values in and solve for c:
c^2 = 8^2 + 15^2
c^2 = 64 + 225
c^2 = 289
c = √289
c = 17
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 17.
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Thank you for pointing it out.
