Respuesta :

ABC is right angle tringle

using Pythagoras theorem 
AB²=AC²+BC²
17² =8² +BC²
289 = 64 +BC²
289 -64 = BC²
225 = BC²
√225 =BC
15 = BC

So length of BC is 15 units.

The length of line BC will be 15 units. Option C is correct.

What is the definition of a right-angle triangle?

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometric function.

According to Pythagoras, the sum of the squares of two sides equals the square of the longest side.

Apply Pythagoras theorem in right angle triangle  ABC ;

AB²=AC²+BC²

Substitute the values from the digrame;

17² =8² +BC²

289 = 64 +BC²

289 -64 = BC²

BC²=225

BC=√225

15 = BC

The length of line BC will be 15 units.

Hence option C is correct.
