HELP ASAP What is the length of the third side of the window frame below? (5 points) (Figure is not drawn to scale.) 58a 1) 16 inches ) 2) 20 inches 3) 40 inches 4) 50 inches

The answer is 3) 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

since you're working with the Pythagorean theorem, you should know that a^2+b^2=c^2, therefore, we know that we only have two sides. we have a and c. we know that a = 42 and c = 58, giving us the equation of 42^2+b^2=58^2,

we want to find b!

so we would simply subtract the two.

58^2 - 42^2 = b

b = 1600

now we want to square root,

b = sqrt1600

which in the end, gives us the answer of 40.
