32

Explanation:

${a}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {c}^(2)$

a= 24 , b= b , c=40

In order to find b, you have to change the equation a bit. Your new equation will look like
${c}^(2) - {a}^(2) = {b}^(2)$

here is the step by step now

${40}^(2) - {24}^(2) = {b}^(2)$

${1600} - {576} = {b}^(2)$

${1024} = {b}^(2)$

**now you need to take the square root of both sides and you get 32**
