The pythagorean theorem states that if a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the legs of the triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse or a² + b² = c².
The converse of the pythagorean theorem on the other hand states that if the sum of the squares of 2 sides of a triangle is equal to the square of the third side or a² + b² = c², then the triangle is a right triangle.
The converse switches the order of the <em>if</em> and <em>then</em> statements.
On the whiteboard, I have also written it.

Wait type the problem again I’m confused when u do this ^ is that plowed to 2 or? Just comment back so I can help
Only the reasons need be given here, as the statements are already given in your figure.

* The addition property says if A=B, then A+C=B+C. The substitution property further says if C=D, then A+C=B+D (D can be substituted for C). IMO, both properties are needed together to get from A=B and C=D to A+B=C+D.
