If the hypotenuse is 41 inches, and one of the legs is 40 inches, what is the length of the other leg in inches?

A.65
B.57
C.25
D.9
Is the answer C?

1. c

2 . d
3. b
4. c

100%

41^2 = 40^2 + x^2

1681 = 1600 + x^2
81 = x^2
9 = x

its still CDBC for XD

Me too but i got a 100 because Freackles was right

100%

CDBC

Freackles is right, 100%.

Careful Brady. In this question it's

41^2 = 40^2 + x^2

Ignore me, GanonTek is correct.

So what's the answer if mine is wrong???

its D a.k.a 9

Is that really correct

@Brady is incorrect. That's okay though! The answer is a.

1600 + b^2 = 1681
-1600 - 1600
---------------------------
b^2 = 81

Therefore, b = 9

freakles is correct. I was skeptical at first but I got 4 out of 4. I wish you could post screen shots on here so that you could see if people were being honest or not

henry hart i dont know what world you come from but...

Afraid not.

it is not c on the forth one

SO STOP LYING

No, B is the correct answer.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

41^2 + 40^2 = c^2

1,681 + 1,600 = c^2

3,281 = c^2

57.280013966478744216755301515065 = c

57.280013966478744216755301515065 is closer to any of the other answers, so B is the answer.

I hope this helps you understand! :)
