Looking at this proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, which statements) would be true? CHECK ALL THAT APPLY.

• 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 yellow triangles have an area of a x b, which would = c
• length of a + length of b = length of c
The four yellow triangles on the left all have the same area as the four yellow O 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 length of a is the same as the length of c - (a+b).
