Triangle XYZ is formed by the three squares J, K, and L:



Which statement best explains the relationship between the sides of triangle XYZ?

XY + YZ = ZX, because 144 + 256 = 400
(XY)2 + (YZ)2 = (ZX)2, because 144 + 256 = 400
(XY)2 + (YZ)2 = (ZX)2, because 202 + 122 = 162
XY + YZ = ZX, because 202 + 122 = 162


Respuesta :

I would say is the correct answer because of the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
XY^2 + YZ^2 = ZX^2
12^2 + 16^2 = 20^2
144 + 256 = 400

My best guess is B.

Hope this helps =)

Triangle XYZ is formed by the three squares J, K, and L

So it is a right triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Answer:

(XY)^2 + (YZ)^2 = (ZX)^2, because 144 + 256 = 400
