Question

use this diagram to explain what the pythagorean theorem means.complete this statement.the area of the square is equal to the sum of the areas of the two squares.smallerlarger

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right - angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) has an area equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides. In the diagram, the larger square is built on the hypotenuse, and the two smaller squares are built on the other two sides of the right - angled triangle.

Answer:

The area of the larger square is equal to the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares.
