Why is it true = you need proof ? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!!!!!!!!! i need to know why its true just an explanation though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Figure 1 (1 in attachments) Now we start with four copies of the same triangle. Three of these have been rotated 90°, 180°, and 270°, respectively. Each has area ab/2. Let's put them together without additional rotations so that they form a square with side c. Figure 2 (2 in attachments) The square has a square hole with the side (a - b). Summing up its area (a - b)² and 2ab, the area of the four triangles (4·ab/2), we get \[c² = (a - b)² + 2ab\]\[= a² - 2ab + b² + 2ab\]\[ = a² + b²\]
