True; the area of the green square + the area of the purple square = the area of the red square.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. This diagram visually represents that concept by showing that the area of the green square (side length a) added to the area of the purple square (side length b) equals the area of the red square (hypotenuse length c).
his diagram is used to prove the Pythagorean Theorem. (1 point) Responses
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
