Question

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

Answer 1

plz i got to finish this.......its due today..plz

Answer 2

Well,

for A, is 36 + 9 = 64 ??
or , is 6^2 + 3^2 = 8^2 ??

for B, is 144 + 25 = 169 ??
or, is 12^2 + 5^2 = 13^2 ??

btw, just because one of these statements is true, does not "prove" the Pythagorean Theorem, it merely illustrates it.

Answer 3

B: 5-12-13 is a right triangle since

5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

Answer 4

thanks guys

Answer 5

thank yaw so much!

Answer 6

I'm still confused D,:

Answer 7

^^^ aRmY-and you have to apply the pathogeream method which is just use the two biggest squares and solve 64^2 and 36^2 and add them the answer will be the answer to the last square, whichever set works best for you is th one to represent and explain how u got the answer

Answer 8

why r bts fans literally everywhere on the internet woah dude

Answer 9

2 years late, and Reiny is still correct!

Answer 10

IM so confused

Answer 11

^^me too

Answer 12

I just gotta say *ehem* BTS is everywhere because they have dedicated fans all over the world aka ARMY and they deserve lots of love and support because they work very hard for what they have accomplished yet they know how to have fun and make their fans smile and laugh *cue to Jhope playing the flute with his nose and Yoongi's cute gummy smile in the background. They are 7 beautiful boys and the world doesn't even deserve them. Also I'm still confused about this question XD

Answer 13

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



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.

Answer 15

은빈 Why the heck are you talking about BTS when this is math?!

Answer 16

If You Look At This Explanation Below, Given By The User "Princess", You Will Actually Find It Simple.

"Figure B proves the Pythagorean Theorem.
As you may have noticed, the lengths given for both figures are already perfect squares. All you have to do is add the lengths of the legs to see if they equal the length of the hypotenuse/diagonal.
Figure A: 9 + 36 = 46... not 64
Figure B: 25 + 144 = 169... correct
Figure B proves the Pythagorean Theorem.
Pythagorean Theorem Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2"

I Hope This Explanation Helps You All :)
