What will be the lenght of the diagonal piece of pipe if the lawn is a rectangle 15 feet long and 8 feet wide?
use pythagorean's theorem... 152 + 82 = c2 c = 17 the length of the pipe will be 17 feet long
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 8 and 15?
Let c be the hypotenuse and use the Pythagorean theorem. 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2 64 + 225 = c^2 289 = c^2 17 = c
What is the pythagorean triple of 16-30-34?
8, 15, 17
What is the area of a triangle with a hypotenuse of 17 and height of 15?
The reference to hypotenuse tells you that this is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean theorem applies. You can't figure area until you know both legs of the right triangle. Letting x be unknown side, you can write 15^2 + x^2 = 17^2. Rearranging: x^2 = 17^2 - 15^2. Use a calculator. x turns out to be a whole number. The area of a right triangle is half the product of its sides (picture a rectangle cut in half diagonally). That would be (x*15)/2.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 8 and 15 units in length?
Using Pythagoras' theorem it is 17 units in length
Can eight fifteen and seventeen represent the sides of a right triangle?
Yes. The hypotenuse is the longest side here, which is 17. Using Pythagorean theorem, 17² must equal the other two sides squared. 17² =289 8²+15² =64+225 =289 Since it satisfies the conditions of the Pythagorean theorem, they can represent the sides of a right triangle.

A carpenter is framing a wall that is 8 feet high and 15 feet long. If the carpenter wants to be sure that the sides of the wall meet at right angles then what should the diagonal measurement of the w?
To ensure the sides of the wall meet at right angles, the carpenter can use the Pythagorean theorem. For a wall that is 8 feet high and 15 feet long, the diagonal measurement (hypotenuse) can be calculated as (\sqrt{(8^2 + 15^2)} = \sqrt{(64 + 225)} = \sqrt{289} = 17) feet. Therefore, the diagonal measurement should be 17 feet.

Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 17 units
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 17 and a leg of length 13?
Use Pythagorean Theorem: a2+b2=c2, where a=13 and c=17; so 132+b2=172, perform squaring to get 169+b2=289, then subtract so b2=120, and take the square root so b~10.95
