Solution
The sides of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 17 cm are 8 and 15.
Explanation:
As, hypotenuse of right angled triangle is 17 cm.
So, 172 = a2 + b2 ...[By Pythagoras theorem]
Where, a and b are other sides of right angled triangle.
= 82 + 152 ...[∵ 172 = 82 + 152]
Hence, a = 8 and b = 15.
