Answer:

The missing leg's measurement is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]

[tex]a^{2}+15^{2} =17^{2}[/tex]

[tex]a^{2}[/tex]+225=289

[tex]a^{2}[/tex]=64

a=√64

a= 8

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

The length of the missing side is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the missing side, use the following formula:

[tex]a^{2} = c^{2} - b^{2}[/tex]

(c = hypothenuse) (a and b = sides) ( a = missing side)

[tex]a^{2} = 17^{2} - 15^{2}[/tex]

[tex]a^{2} = 289 - 225[/tex]

[tex]a^{2} = 64[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{a^{2} } = \sqrt{64}[/tex]

a = 8
