Question

If a right triangle has legs of length 8 and 15, then we know the length of the hypotenuse is the square root of 82 + 152, which equals 17.

Answer 1

then what

Answer 2

\(8^{2} + 15^{2} = 64 + 225 = 289 = 17^{2}\)

Somehow, try anything, you have to make your notation clear. "82 + 152" just doesn't cut it.
