The diagram shows squares 1, 2, and 3 constructed on the sides of a right triangle. . . . . Which statement about the squares must be true?. . A.(Perimeter of 1) + (Perimeter of 2) = (Perimeter of 3). B.(Area of 1) + (Area of 2) = (Perimeter of 3). C.(Area of 1) + (Area of 2) = (Area of 3). D.(Perimeter of 1) + (Perimeter of 2) = (Area of 3). .

Respuesta :

C. (Area of 1) + (Area of 2) = (Area of 3)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

[tex] c^{2}= a^{2} +b^{2} [/tex] ------> equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

Area of the square [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] A1=a^{2} unit^{2} [/tex]

Area of the square [tex] 2 [/tex]

[tex] A2=b^{2} unit^{2} [/tex]

Area of the square [tex] 3 [/tex]

[tex] A3=c^{2} unit^{2} [/tex]

Substitute the values of A1, A2 and A3 in the equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] A3=A1+A2 [/tex]

therefore

the answer is the option

C.(Area of 1) + (Area of 2) = (Area of 3).
