Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

→You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve:

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

→The "a," and "b," are the legs, and the "c," is the hypotenuse. In this case, we are already given the hypotenuse as 41, and we are trying to find a leg:

`40^2+b^2=41^2`

`1600+b^2 = 1681`

→Subtract 1600 from both sides:

`b^2=81`

→To get "b," by itself, square root both sides, like so:

`√(b^2) =√(81)`

→81 is a perfect square meaning it has two factors that are identical.

`b = 9`
