Question

now, square the length of each leg of the right triangle, 3 and 4, to make the left side of the equation easier to work with.
$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
$3^2 + 4^2 = c^2$
$\square + \square = c^2$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate \(3^2\)

We know that squaring a number means multiplying it by itself. So, \(3^2 = 3\times3 = 9\).

Step2: Calculate \(4^2\)

Similarly, \(4^2 = 4\times4 = 16\).

Answer:

\(9 + 16 = c^2\) (So the first box is 9 and the second box is 16)
