What is the length of bc

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If you’re trying to find out the length of a side, use Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a = bc b = 8 and c = 17

a^2 + 8^2 = 17^2

a^2 + 64 = 289

a^2 = 289 - 64

a^2 = 225

Square rt 225 = 15

Therefore bc = 15

That would be .6 because that means 60 percent.
