    First set up your formula. A squared plus b squared equals c squared. C squared is the hypotenuse. Set it up like this;

    24 squared plus b squared equals 40 squared.

    576 plus b squared equals 1600

    B squared equals 1600 - 576

    B squared equals 1024

    Then you square root it

    The answer is 32.

    H^2=x^2+y^2

    y^2=h^2-x^2

    y^2=40^2-24^2

    y^2=1024

    y=√1024

    y=32 ft
