Question

Pythagorean Theoarem:

Answer 1

The pythagorean theorem is expressed as

hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2

From the diagram,

hypotenuse = x

one leg = 40

other leg = 9

Thus, we have

`\begin{gathered} x^2=40^2+9^2 \\ x^2\text{ = 1600 + 81 = 1681} \\ x\text{ = }\sqrt[]{1681} \\ x\text{ = 41} \end{gathered}`

The correct option is B
