Looking at this proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, which statement(s) would be true? CHECK ALL THAT APPLY. (2 points) Responses The four yellow triangles on the left all have the same area as the four yellow triangles on the right (a+b/2) - therefore, the two small green squares on the left have to have the same area as the large green square on the right. The four yellow triangles on the left all have the same area as the four yellow triangles on the right (a+b/2) - therefore, the two small green squares on the left have to have the same area as the large green square on the right. The yellow triangles have an area of a x b, which would = c The yellow triangles have an area of a x b, which would = c The area of both large squares are equal; so the triangles with the square(s) must have a total area that is equal to each other. The area of both large squares are equal; so the triangles with the square(s) must have a total area that is equal to each other. length of a + length of b = length of c length of a + length of b = length of c The length of a is the same as the length of c - (a+b). The length of a is the same as the length of c - (a+b).

length of a + length of b = length of c
are you sure?
I apologize for the error in my previous response. The correct statements are:
The yellow triangles have an area of a x b, which would = c
length of a + length of b = length of c
Thank you for pointing that out.
are you absolutely sure?
I apologize for the confusion earlier. Let me correct myself:
The yellow triangles have an area of a x b, which would = c
length of a + length of b = length of c
Thank you for your patience.
