#1.

For this problem, we can use Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse). We are given C, the hypotenuse, and A, a leg of the triangle in this problem.

9^2 + b^2 = 41^2

81 + b^2 = 1681

b^2 = 1600

b = 40 feet

#2.

We will again use Pythagorean Theorem. We are given the height and the length of a leg in this problem.

33^2 + b^2 = 65^2

1089 + b^2 = 4225

b^2 = 3136

b = 56 inches

Hope this helps!! :)
