OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can anyone please help? I am so confused about what to do!

OpenStudy (lalaly):

whats the question? is it just the picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, @lalaly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we have a triangle in between of three squares

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yap api but it would be more easy if the question statement is there

OpenStudy (lalaly):

lam said its only a picture lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, and the question asks "Use the diagram to determine which statement is true". The possible answers are A) Area(ABCD) - AREA(DGA) = AREA(DEFG) B)Area(ABCD) - AREA(GHIA) = AREA(DEFG) C) Area(ABCD) + AREA(GHIA) = AREA(DEFG) D) Area(GHIA) - AREA(DEFG) = AREA(ABCD)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyone have an idea? :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me think just a moment plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np, thank you so much for helping me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

It is the figure made for proving pythagoras theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, but I don't understand what they are telling me to do. I know that sounds crazy...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I think it is. It looks liks the pythagoras theroem picture thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyways, the theroem is A^2+B^2=C^2. Maybe that's what you have to prove?

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

they want to prove the two small sides squares area by adding must be equal to biggest side's square's area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know about the PT, but which side are they telling me to find?

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

gt it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The possible answers are A) Area(ABCD) - AREA(DGA) = AREA(DEFG) B)Area(ABCD) - AREA(GHIA) = AREA(DEFG) C) Area(ABCD) + AREA(GHIA) = AREA(DEFG) D) Area(GHIA) - AREA(DEFG) = AREA(ABCD)

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the most suitable answer in my opinion is A why? look if we just subtract area of triangle from the big square we get area of small triangle i.e DEFG

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

oops sorry I didn't see that clearly

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

@annas is right:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its what i think lets see what lalaly api have to say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it! @annas @lalaly @jiteshmeghwal9 you all are GENIUSES!!!! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're welcome i m not that genius :)

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

yw:) but the best effort @lalaly & @annas

OpenStudy (anonymous):
