Yes.
Add the squares of the two smaller sides. Is it equal to the square of the biggest side? If yes, it is a right angled triangle. 82 + 152 = 64 + 225 = 289 172 = 289 The same, so it is right angled.
If it were, then 17 squared would equal 8 squared plus 15 squared. ie 289 would equal 64 + 225 which it does, so it is a pythagorean triangle.
17/15 is in its simplest form.
2 wrong is 15 right, out of 17 then 15/17 = over 88%
Yes.
11 centimeters 15 centimeters and 17 centimeters can form a triangle . It is because some of any two sides of triangle is greater than the third side . a + b >c always.
17
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 8 and 15 centimeters is the square root of (8 squared plus 15 squared), which is 17.
If the sides of right angle triangle are 8 units and 15 units then the hypotenuse will be 17 units in length.
Can 9, 8, and 17 for a triangle?
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.
17 units using Pythagoras' theorem
17 units in length
The area of triangle is : 127.5
It is a right angle triangle so area = 0.5*15*8 = 60 square feet
The length of the hypotenuse works out as 17 miles
