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

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
