PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL BE FINISHED IF I GET THIS LAST ONE DONE!!!!!


A The sum of the perimeters of the smaller squares is equal to the perimeter of the larger square.


B The difference of the perimeters of the smaller squares is equal to the perimeter of the larger square.


C The difference of the areas of the smaller squares is equal to the area of the larger square.


D The sum of the areas of the smaller squares is equal to the area of the larger square.

Answer 1

Either A or D

Explanation:

Because if you put the area of the two smaller squares together it would equal that one big square.

I don't know if this is right just a tough guess but I hope this helps!

And Good Job for almost being completed!

Answer 2

D, because a^2 + b^2 is c^2
