17

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pythagorean theorem, , where a and b are the two legs of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse. In this scenario, the two legs are 8 and 15, and we are asked to find the hypotenuse. Plugging the two values in, we have , where 64 is 8 squared and 225 is 15 squared. Adding, we have the two values as 289. If you don't know your squares, I suggest you take a look at a list or even memorize your squares until 30, but 289 is actually 17 squared. If , then c = , which is 17.
