The relationship between the lengths of the sides of the triangle is that they all follow the Pythagorean Theorem (at least I'm pretty sure that's the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you plug in the smaller sides like 9^2+40^2 which equals to 1681. Then you square 1681, you'll get 41 as your hypotenuse. The sides of triangle provided above your question, should follow the formula given to you which is c^2=a^2+b^2. Just to be safe, you can check if all of the triangle sides actually are true for the Pythagorean theorem.
Firstly, the height increased. Before restoration the height was 56.84*cos(5.5°). After restoration : <span>56.84*cos(3.99°). The difference is : </span>56.84*cos(3.99°)-56.84*cos(5.5°)=56.84(cos(3.99°)-cos(5.5°))=56.84*0.0022=0.1239≈0.124 - the answer
