Question

When three squares are joined at their vertices to form a right triangle, the combined area of the two smaller squares is the same as the area of the largest square. Which three squares will support this statement?

Answer 1

J

Explanation:

Area of a square = L x W

F:

(5 x 5) + (4 x 4) = 81

25 + 16 = 81

41 = 81 INCORRECT =( X

H:

64 + (5 x 5) = (13 x 13)

64 + 25 = 169

89 = 169 INCORRECT =( X

G:

(6 x 6) + (5 x 5) = (7 x 7)

36 + 25 = 49

61 = 49 INCORRECT =( X

J:

144 + (5 x 5) = 169

144 + 25 = 169

169 = 169 CORRECT =)
