Answer:

C. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find x by applying the leg rule.

The leg rule is given as:

Hypotenuse/leg = leg/part

Hypotenuse = 24

Leg = 17

Part = x

Plug in the value into the equation:

24/17 = 17/x

Cross multiply

24*x = 17*17

24x = 289

x = 289/24

x = 12.0416667 ≈ 12 (nearest tenth)
