The Pythagorean theorem states that if a right triangle then the of each leg equals the square of the and the converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that if the of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the then the triangle is a right triangle

Explain the Pythagorean theorem.
A.
The Pythagorean theorem states that if a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of its legs equals the square of its hypotenuse.
B.
The Pythagorean theorem states that if the square of one side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.
C.
The Pythagorean theorem states that if the square of one side of a triangle is less than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.
D.
The Pythagorean theorem states that if a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of its legs is greater than the square of its hypotenuse.
