Question

Which fact can be best used to prove that BC2 + CE2 = BE2?

Answer 1

Area of PQEB is greater than the square of the area of CEFG.

Area of PQEB is equal to the sum of the areas of CEFG and ABCD.

Area of CEFG is equal to the sum of the areas of PQEB and ABCD.



Area of PQEB is greater than the square of the area of ABCD.

Answer 2

The pythagorean theorem can be used to prove that fact

Answer 3

which in this case is basically stating that "Area of PQEB is equal to the sum of the areas of CEFG and ABCD."

Answer 4

ie one square (the largest one) is to the sum of the other two squares
