I NEED HELP ASAP PLZZ Find the length of side a in the right triangle below. Use a calculator to estimate the square root to one decimal place.
17
a
15
The length of the side, a, is approximately
The solution is

b ≈ 13.7

Step-by-step explanation:

use the panthagrean thereom

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

10^2 + b^2 = 17^2

100 + b^2 = 289

-100             -100

b^2 = 189

√b^2 = √189

b = 13.74772708486752

b ≈ 13.7

f(x) is the value of the function. b is the value of the function when x equals zero or the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis in the coordinate plane.
