Given:

In a right angle triangle,

Perpendicular = 8 units

Base = x units

Hypotenuse = 17 units

To find:

The exact value of x.

Solution:

The given triangles is a right angle triangle. So, side lengths form a Pythagorean triplet.

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2

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

289=x^2+64

289-64=x^2

225=x^2

Taking square root on both sides.

$\pm \sqrt{225}=x$

$\pm 15=x$

Side cannot be negative. So, x=15 .

Therefore, the required value is x=15 and yes, the side lengths form a Pythagorean triplet, i.e., (8,15,17).
