Question

How do I solve this?

Answer 1

Squares in second illustration do not support the statement.

Explanation:

First illustration: Does the sum (3 cm)^2 + (4 cm)^2 = 25 cm^2? YES.

Second illustration: Does the sum (9 cm)^2 + 144 cm^2 = (21 cm)^2? NO

Third illustration: Does the sum (5 cm)^2 + (12 cm)^2 = (13 cm)^2? YES

Fourth: Does the sum (6 cm)^2 + 64 cm^2 = 100 cm^2? YES

So the squares in the second illustration do NOT support the statement.
