Find the missing length of the side. The triangle is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

let the length of the required seg be x
Since given triangle is a right angled
therefore by using Pythagoras theorem, we find

\[x^2 + 15^2 =17^2 \rightarrow x^2 + 225 =289 \]
\[\rightarrow x^2 =289 -225 \rightarrow x^2 =64 \rightarrow x =64\]
