Answer: D.
\text{Area of square 1+Area of square 2=Area of square 3 }

Explanation:

Let the 'h' be the length of the hypotenuse of the right angle, 'a' be the side corresponding to the square 2 and 'b' be the side corresponding to the square 1 .

Since, area of square =
(side)^2

Then, Area of square 1 =
b^2......................(1)

Area of square 2 =
a^2......................(2)

Area of square 3 =
h^2......................(3)

Using Pythagoras theorem in given right triangle, we get


h^2=a^2+b^2\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area of square 3 =Area of square 1+Area of square 2 } [from (1),(2) and (3)]
