(Need) Explanation 3-5 sentences of how you got the answer

Answer 1

You can use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

a=9

b=b

c=41

9^2+b^2=41^2

81+b^2=1681

b^2=1600

b=+/-40

but since this is a geometric scenario, answers will only lie in the positive real number set. That's why answer is +40 or C.
