Landscaping Right-Triangular Flowerbed Layout

A landscape design assistant is setting up a right-triangular flowerbed for a commercial landscaping project. The layout specifications require one leg of the right-angled flowerbed to measure 15 feet and the diagonal boundary (hypotenuse) to measure 17 feet. Based on a common Pythagorean triple, state the required length of the second leg in feet, and write the initial equation by substituting these values into the standard Pythagorean Theorem formula, a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2, letting bb represent the unknown leg.
