How can you Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 8 and 15 If necessar?

using the pythagorean thereom. a^2 + b^2 = c^2 in which a and b are your legs and c is your hypotenuse 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2 289=c^2 17 is the hypotenuse

When do you use surd?

Surds are used in pythagoras' thereom where a2 +b2=c2 The answer (c2) then has to be square rooted and if it is a not a square number then you will end up with a surd A surd can also be used to represent an irrational number rather as it is more accurate and saves time when writing it out
