Question

Anjeli writes the equation (a+b)2=c2+4(12ab) to begin a proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Use the drop-down menus to explain why this is a true equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$

Red area = $c^{2}$

One blue triangle = ( a * b * $\frac{1}{2}$ )

Blue area = 4 * ( a * b * $\frac{1}{2}$ )

Totally area = $(a+b)^{2}$

Red area + blue area = totally area

$c^{2}$ + 4 * ( a * b * $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = $(a+b)^{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:1+1=11
