Which of the images above represents a proof of the Pthagorean Theorem? Explain your choice, and them explain how the figure proves the Phythagoream Theorem.
Figure A
The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 64 units^2
One leg is 36 units^2
The bottom leg is 9 units^2
Figure B
The hypotenuse of the right trangle is 169 units^2
One leg is 144 units^2
The bottom leg is 25 units ^2
B: 5-12-13 is a right triangle since
5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2
why r bts fans literally everywhere on the internet woah dude
I'm still confused D,:
IM so confused
은빈 Why the heck are you talking about BTS when this is math?!
If You Look At This Explanation Below, Given By The User "Princess", You Will Actually Find It Simple.
"Figure B proves the Pythagorean Theorem.
As you may have noticed, the lengths given for both figures are already perfect squares. All you have to do is add the lengths of the legs to see if they equal the length of the hypotenuse/diagonal.
Figure A: 9 + 36 = 46... not 64
Figure B: 25 + 144 = 169... correct
Figure B proves the Pythagorean Theorem.
Pythagorean Theorem Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2"
