(1 point)

False; the squares all have similar areas, so does not show the Pythagorean Theorem

False; the green square needs to be congruent to the purple square to be a picture of the Pythagorean Theorem

True; the area of the green square + the area of the purple square = the area of the red square

True; the area of the red square + the area of the green square = the area of the purple square

Answer 1

True; the area of the green square + the area of the purple square = the area of the red square.

This matches a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (the two squares on the legs sum to the square on the hypotenuse).
