Question

select the correct image. for which triangle does the equation 4² + 4² = c² 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.

Step2: Identify the right - triangle

The equation $4^{2}+4^{2}=c^{2}$ implies that the two legs of the right - triangle have lengths 4. Among the given triangles, the right - triangle with legs of length 4 is the one with a right - angle symbol and two sides labeled 4.

Answer:

The second triangle (the one with a right - angle symbol and two sides labeled 4)
