Question

After studying the diagram shown, Michael makes the following conclusions: 1. DG = 3 and the area of square DEFG is 9. 2. AG = 4 and the area of square GHIA is 16. 3. DA = 5 and the area of square ABCD is 25. What conclusion can he make about the sides (DG, AG, and DA) of the yellow triangle?

Answer 1

C) DA2 = DG2 + AG2

Explanation:

The solution is DA2 = DG2 + AG2. Michael determines that DA = 3, AG = 4 and DA = 5. The sum of the squares of DA and AG is equal to the square of DA.
