Which of the images above represents a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem? Explain your choice, and than explain how the figure proves the Pythagorean Theorem.
The triangle inside the three squares shows the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
Area of one triangle is 25 sq units, so one side = 5
Area of second triangle is 144 sq units, so the side = 12
Area of third triangle is 169sq units, so one side = 13
Therefore three side of the triangle are, 5, 12 and 13
proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
Base = 12
Height = 5
Hypotenuse = 13
5^2 + 12^2 = 25 +169 =13^2
