Question 600381: show me how to find missing measure of a triangle that measures 17cm and 15cm? Found 2 solutions by solver91311, w_parminder:Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Nope. You have to know something else about the triangle than just the measure of the two sides. There are an infinite number of different triangles that have two of the sides that measure 15 and 17.

If it is, then we can find the third side by applying the Pythagoras Theorem.
In that case, the third side of the triangle would be
i.e.
i.e.
i.e. 8cm
