Answer :
Solution:
Concept:
To solve the length of the hypotenuse, we will use the Pythagoras theorem below
[tex]\begin{gathered} hypotenus^2=opposite^2+adjacent^2 \\ c^2=a^2+b^2 \\ where, \\ a=8 \\ b=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]By substituting the values, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2} \\ c^2=8^2+15^2 \\ c^2=64+225 \\ c^2=289 \\ c=\sqrt{289} \\ c=17 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
The length of hypotenuse C , is
[tex]\Rightarrow c=17[/tex]
