Answer:
8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok lets on the biggest square we have 17 cm
17cm is the hypotenuse for the right triangle
The second largest's area is 225 cm^2
Sq root of 225 cm^2, is 15
To find x, lets plug the info we have to the pythagorean theorom
[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2\\a^2 + 225 = 289\\\\289 - 225 = a^2\\64=a^2\\a = 8 cm[/tex]
The side length of the smallest Square is 8 cm
