Question

question 12 of 25
which of the following is the statement below describing?
in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the leg lengths is equal to the square of the hypotenuse length.
a. hypotenuse - leg theorem
b. hypotenuse - angle theorem
c. pythagorean theorem
d. right triangle theorem

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right - triangle, if the lengths of the legs are \(a\) and \(b\) and the length of the hypotenuse is \(c\), then \(a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\), which is exactly what the given statement describes. The other theorems mentioned do not match this description.

Answer:

C. Pythagorean Theorem
