By the Pythagorean theorem

a^2=b^2+c^2⇒

40^2=24^2+32^2\\1600=1600

So a triangle with these sides exists

In a right triangle, the largest side is a hypotenuse, so the side with length 40 is a hypotenuse.

P.S. Hello from Russia and sorry for my bad english :^)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sum of the squares of 24 and 32 are equal to square of 40, then it is a hypotenuse.

Let us check.

{24}^{2}  +  {32}^{2}  = 576 + 1024 = 1600...(1) \\  {40}^{2}  = 1600...(2) \\ from \: equations \: (1) \: and \: (2) \\  {24}^{2}  +  {32}^{2}  = {40}^{2}  \\  \therefore \: 24 \: and \: 32 \: are \: lengths \: of \: legs \\ and \: 40 \: is \: the \: length \: of \: hypotenuse.

Answer: Picking the first option and constantly adding on and on you will eventually make way more than what the second option proposes, therefore picking the first option is the obvious choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well let’s see it starts off slow for instance 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and so on adding that on for a month will eventually leave you with more.
