Answer:
given,
AB= 17
AC= 8
angle BCA =90°
as it is a Right angled triangle ,
taking reference angle BAC
we get,h=AB=17
b=AC=8
p=BC=?
now by the Pythagoras theorem we get,
p=
[tex] \sqrt{h { }^{2} - b {}^{2} } [/tex]
so,p=
[tex] \sqrt{17 {}^{2} - 8 {}^{2} } [/tex]
[tex] = \sqrt{225} [/tex]
=15 is the answer....
hope its wht u r searching for....
