Answer:
It is the second triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because the area of the square is given as 25^2 as the perpendicular, 144^2 as the base, and the hypotenuse is 169^2.
Length of the perpendicular = 5^2 (Because 25^2 / 5^2)
Length of the base = 12^2
Length of the hypotenuse = 13^2
So, the Pythagoras theorem is,
=>
=>
This is true, because, 13*13 = 12*12 + 5*5
=> 169 = 144 + 25
=> 169 = 169
