No, B is the correct answer.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

41^2 + 40^2 = c^2

1,681 + 1,600 = c^2

3,281 = c^2

57.280013966478744216755301515065 = c

57.280013966478744216755301515065 is closer to any of the other answers, so B is the answer.

I hope this helps you understand! :)
Afraid not.
Careful Brady. In this question it's

41^2 = 40^2 + x^2
Ignore me, GanonTek is correct.
So what's the answer if mine is wrong???
41^2 = 40^2 + x^2
1681 = 1600 + x^2
81 = x^2
9 = x
its D a.k.a 9
Is that really correct
1. c
2 . d
3. b
4. c

100%
Freackles is right, 100%.
@Brady is incorrect. That's okay though! The answer is a.

1600 + b^2 = 1681
-1600 - 1600
---------------------------
b^2 = 81

Therefore, b = 9
freakles is correct. I was skeptical at first but I got 4 out of 4. I wish you could post screen shots on here so that you could see if people were being honest or not
Me too but i got a 100 because Freackles was right

100%
