Question

select the correct image. for which triangle does the equation 4^2 + 4^2 = c^2 apply?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Pythagorean theorem

The Pythagorean theorem is $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$, where $a$ and $b$ are the legs of a right - triangle and $c$ is the hypotenuse. The given equation $4^{2}+4^{2}=c^{2}$ implies that the two legs of the right - triangle have lengths 4.

Step2: Identify the right - triangle with legs 4

We need to find a right - triangle with two legs of length 4. The second triangle from the left has two legs of length 4 and a right - angle.

Answer:

The second triangle from the left.
