Which of the images above represent a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem? Explain your choice, and then explain how the figure proves the Pythagorean Theorem.

Question

Figure A:
Leg a= 9 units (length)
Leg b= 36 units (bottom)
Leg c= 64 units (diagonal length)

Figure B:
Leg a= 25 units (length)
Leg b= 144 units (bottom)
Leg c= 169 units (diagonal length)

Um... I'm not very sure if those are the measurements of the legs/hypo in the picture the measurements are inside of the triangle like area. May someone help ke understand this? I know how to do P.T but I'm not sure if those are the measurements for the triangles. Help me please!!
