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"

I Hope This Explanation Helps You All :)

plz i got to finish this.......its due today..plz
thanks guys
2 years late, and Reiny is still correct!
^^me too
thxs
thank you so much dr. mathematical, it makes much more since to me now! :D
Well,
for A, is 36 + 9 = 64 ??
or , is 6^2 + 3^2 = 8^2 ??
for B, is 144 + 25 = 169 ??
or, is 12^2 + 5^2 = 13^2 ??
btw, just because one of these statements is true, does not "prove" the Pythagorean Theorem, it merely illustrates it.
thank yaw so much!
^^^ aRmY-and you have to apply the pathogeream method which is just use the two biggest squares and solve 64^2 and 36^2 and add them the answer will be the answer to the last square, whichever set works best for you is th one to represent and explain how u got the answer
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
There isn't one, because for figure A 9^2=a 36^2=b 64^2=c
64^2=4096
9^2+36^2=1377 so it can't be figure A.
For figure B 25^2=a 144^2=b 169^2=c
169^2=28561
25^2+144^2=21361.
