Triangle PQR is formed by the three squares A, B, and C:
A right triangle PQR is shown. On the side PQ of this triangle is a square. Inside the square is written Square A, Area equal to 9 square units. On the side QR of this triangle is another square. Inside the square is written Square B, Area equal to 16 square units. On the side PR of this triangle is another square. Inside the square is written Square C, Area equal to 25 square units.
Which statement best explains the relationship between the sides of triangle PQR? (5 points)
(PQ)2 + (QR)2 = (PR)2, because 9 + 16 = 25
PQ + QR = PR, because 9 + 16 = 25
(PQ)2 + (QR)2 = (PR)2, because 52 + 32 = 42
PQ + QR = PR, because 52 + 32 = 42
