Which of the images above represents a proof of the Pthagorean Theorem? Explain your choice, and them explain how the figure proves the Phythagoream Theorem. Figure A The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 64 units^2 One leg is 36 units^2 The bottom leg is 9 units^2 Figure B The hypotenuse of the right trangle is 169 units^2 One leg is 144 units^2 The bottom leg is 25 units ^2 My answer There isn't one, because for figure A 9^2=a 36^2=b 64^2=c 64^2=4096 9^2+36^2=1377 so it can't be figure A. For figure B 25^2=a 144^2=b 169^2=c 169^2=28561 25^2+144^2=21361.
