h²=a²+b², so 25²=15²+x², 625=225+x², x²=625-225=400, x=`/400(let's just pretend this is a square root, I don't have the symbol on my keyboard), so x=20

25 × 25 = 625 15 × 15 = 225 625 - 225 = 400 × = kök 400 × = 20

Or just proces of elimination. It's less than 25, but bigger than 15

It's just the square root of 25^2 - 15^2
