So, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Right? That is called the Pythagorean Theorem.
In this case. We can say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c.
NOTE: It doesn't really matter whether 39 is a or b. a & b are just the two legs of the right triangle.
So, if we say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c. We can plug it into the Pythagorean Theorem.
39^2 + 40^2 = x^2
I'll let you take it from there.
Take out common factor, 3 :
3x - 3 = 3(x - 1)

Answer: 3(x - 1)

Answer:
Sorry this is late!
Step-by-step explanation:
Lengths are given to 1dp so the biggest that the lengths could be is 4.65cm and 5.35cm. if you use pythagoras on these to find hypotenuse, this is the upper bound.
