Answer 2

Answer: squared 24 squared + 45 squared

Explanation:

Given the following :

Small square = 24cm

Medium square = 45cm

Large square =?

From the diagram attached;

Since the three squares forms a right-angle triangle, with the leg of the large square forming the hypotenus.

Thus, the expression to calculate the area can thus be :

Hypotenus^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2

A^2 = 24^2 + 45^2

Recall that the area of a square is the square of any of it's side, since the sides of a square are are equal, that is A^2
