Answer:
The value of x is "17". A further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Base,
B = 8
Perpendicular,
P = 15
Hypotenuse,
H = x
On applying Pythagoras theorem, we get
⇒ [tex](Hypotenuse)^=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2[/tex]
⇒ [tex]H^2=P^2+B^2[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]x^2=15^2+8^2[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x^2=225+64[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x^2=289[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=\sqrt{289}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=17[/tex]
