Question

What is the value of X?

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

x² = 40² + 9² = 1600 + 81 = 1681 ( take square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{1681}$ = 41
