Which of the images above represent a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem? Explain your choice, and then explain how the figure proves the Pythagorean Theorem. Figure A: Leg a= 9 units (length) Leg b= 36 units (bottom) Leg c= 64 units (diagonal length) Figure B: Leg a= 25 units (length) Leg b= 144 units (bottom) Leg c= 169 units (diagonal length) Um... I'm not very sure if those are the measurements of the legs/hypo in the picture the measurements are inside of the triangle like area. May someone help ke understand this? I know how to do P.T but I'm not sure if those are the measurements for the triangles. Help me please!!

Question
Answer:
From the second figure it can be seen that 25 + 144 = 169

This implies that 5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

This is a right triangle with legs of 5 and 12 and hypothenus of 13.
