Answer:
D. 13.267 m
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
7^2 + b^2 = 15^2
49 + b^2 = 225
Subtract 49 from each side
b^2 = 225-49
b^2 =176
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(176)
b = sqrt(176)
b = 13.266
