Question

Please help i don’t know if I’m doing this right

Answer 1

x = 41

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

9^2 + 40^2 = c^2

81 + 1600 = c^2

c^2 = 1681

c = 41

Answer 2

Explanation:

In order to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you must remember the theorem:

a² + b² = c².

40 to the second power is 1600, and 9 to the second power is 81.

Add these together for a total of 1681, but you're not done yet. We need to find what multiplied by itself equals 1681, since c is to the second power.

The square root is 41, so x is 41.
