MGSE8.G.6: Jason was given a triangle that had side length of 10m and a hypotenuse of 15m. When he substituted these values into the Pythagorean Theorem, he got 10² + 15² = c².

Part A. Find Jason’s mistake and correct it. Then, solve for the missing length. Round to the nearest tenth.

Part B. Show your mathematical thinking and justify your answer.
