Question

What is the relationship between the side lengths of the white square and the side lengths of the triangles?

es -)
A)
Each side of the white square is congruent to shorter leg of a triangle.
B)
Each side of the white square is congruent to the longer leg of a triangle.
Each side of the white square is the hypotenuse of a triangle.
D)
Each side of the white square is congruent to both legs of the triangles.

Answer 1

C) Each side of the white square is the hypotenuse of a triangle.

Explanation:

It can be observed in the diagram that the sides of the white square forms part of the sides of the triangles. Since the triangles formed are right angled, then the longest side of the triangle is the sides of the white square.

Therefore it can be inferred that, each side of the white square is the hypotenuse of a triangle. thus the correct choice of answer is C.
