Answer 1

To find the missing hypotenuse, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Let's assume the two other sides of the right triangle are 8 cm and 15 cm:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 8^2 + 15^2
c^2 = 64 + 225
c^2 = 289

Taking the square root of both sides to solve for c, we get:

c = √289
c = 17 cm

Therefore, the missing hypotenuse is 17 cm.
