Since we know that the 38 is being bisected (which we can tell by the fact that the line hits it perpendicularly), we know that from the intersection to the edge of the circle is 19. From this we can create a right triangle in which the legs are 10 and 19 and the hypotenuse is a radius of the circle. Since x is also a radius of the circle, all we have to do is use that information to find the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem and we have x.

Choice 1. He did not square 40, he just multiplied by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
The hypotenuse measures c cm while the other sides are 40 cm and 9 cm each.
Step 2:
According to the Pythagorean theorem,
This is the correct solution to the given problem. Hans did not square 40, he just multiplied by 2. Which is the first option.
