Which image?
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
(The numbers are already squared, so just plug them in for a, b, and c, and see if it is a true statement.)
Hope this helps and I hope it made sense.
