Question

Which statement explains the Pythagorean Theorem?(1 point)

If all angles in a triangle are of equal measure, then the length of all sides will be equal.

If a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the longest leg and the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the third side.

If a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

If the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°
, then the sum of the legs of the triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Answer 1

"If a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse." (i.e., for legs a, b and hypotenuse c: a² + b² = c²)
