A 15a

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

Letting the unknown side be x

(8a)^2 + x^2 = (17a)^2

64a^2 + x^2= 289a^2

Subtracting 64a^2 from each side

64a^2 -64a^2 + x^2= 289a^2-64a^2

x^2 =225a^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) =sqrt(225a^2)

x = 15a
