Asked by Callie
Which of the images above represents a proof of the Pthagorean Theorem? Explain your choice, and them explain how the figure proves the Phythagoream Theorem.
Figure A
The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 64 units^2
One leg is 36 units^2
The bottom leg is 9 units^2
Figure B
The hypotenuse of the right trangle is 169 units^2
One leg is 144 units^2
The bottom leg is 25 units ^2
My answer
There isn't one, because for figure A 9^2=a 36^2=b 64^2=c
64^2=4096
9^2+36^2=1377 so it can't be figure A.
For figure B 25^2=a 144^2=b 169^2=c
169^2=28561
25^2+144^2=21361.
So would I be right saying there is no right choice?

You did it wrong the answer would be B because a= 6^2=36+3^2=9= 46 not 64
B is 12^2=144+5^2= 25 = 169
B is 12^2=144+5^2= 25 = 169
