Use pythagorean theorem the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the legs squared\[a ^{2}+b ^{2}=c ^{2}\]

Answer 2

okay thats making more sense...i always get confused with this theorem

Answer 3

Doing your algebra for you
\[c=\sqrt{a ^{2}+b _{2}}\]\[a=\sqrt{c ^{2}-b ^{2}}=\sqrt{17^{2}-15^{2}}\]
