Hey mate!!!
This question implies Pythagoras theorem.
The tree is the height of the triangle formed by the string, the boy and the tree.
Refer attachment for figure.
Let the distance between the boy and tree be x.
So by Pythagoras theorem we have
x² + 40² = 50²
x² = 50² - 40²
x² = 2500 - 1600
x² = 900
x = √900
x = 30m
The boy is at a distance of 30 m from the tree.
