@jim_thompson5910 Help Me Please ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

reason 1 is the pythagorean theorem since the pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where 'a' and 'b' are legs of a right triangle and 'c' is the hypotenuse

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

they just used different variables (but it's the same idea)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh i thought it was reason 2 i appreciate it !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sooo Witch One is It A B C OR D ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, reason 2 is the transitive property of equality, which basically states that if A = B and B = C, then A = C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hopefully you can see which one it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is It C ?
