Let check the Pythagorean theorem: In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle).
a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2
41%5E2%2B40%5E2=3281 91%5E2=8281
So 91,41,40 are not measurements of a right triangle

The other tutor showed it's not a right triangle.
40, 41 & 91 cannot make any triangle.
Do you know why?
