Looking at this proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, which statement(s)
would be true? CHECK ALL THAT APPLY.
The yellow triangles have an area of a x b, which would = c
The length of a is the same as the length of c - (a+b).
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
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 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.
