Which would represent proof of the Pythagorean Theorem?

Question

A. Right triangle with legs of 36 and 9, as well as the hypotenuse as 64.

B. Right triangle with legs of 144 and 25, as well as the hypotenuse as 169.

Is it B? I don't know...

Answer 1

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Does your answer fit the Pythagorean Theorem?

Show your work.

Answer 2

A. 36^2 + 9^2 = 1377 DOES NOT EQUAL TO 64^2 = 4096.

B. 144^2 + 25^2 = 20736 DOES NOT EQUAL TO 169^2 28561.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Answer 3

I agree. Neither of these choices is correct.
