Answer:

the answer is 17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to use the pythagorean theorem.

[tex]a^{2}[/tex] + [tex]b^{2}[/tex] = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

for a is 15 and b is 8

[tex]15^{2} + 8^{2} = 289[/tex]

289 = [tex]c\^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{289}[/tex] = 17

therefore, the distance is 17 feet.
