Respuesta :

Answer: 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

8^2+15^2=c^2

64+225=c^2

289=c^2

Now square both sides

x=17

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}[/tex]

[tex]c^{2} = 8^{2} + 15^{2}[/tex]

[tex]c^{2} = 64 + 225[/tex]

[tex]c^{2} = 289[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{c^2} = \sqrt{289}[/tex]

[tex]c = 17[/tex]
