Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the longest side I.e. Hypotenuse using pythogorean theorem.

[tex] {8}^{2} + {15}^{2} = {x}^{2} \\ 64 + 225 = {x}^{2} \\ 289 = {x}^{2} \\ x = \sqrt{289} \\ x = 17[/tex]

This is your answer hope it helps :)

Answer:

17?

Step-by-step explanation:

a squared + b squared = c squared (hypothenuse longest side)

square them, then add them and square root them.
