Explanation:

  • The area of the blue square will always equal the sum of the area of the orange and red rectangles

The pythagorian theorem:

a²+b² = c²

now let a be the side of the red triangle and b the side of the orange one

so a² is the area of the red triangle and b² is the area of the orange one

Let c be the side of the blue rectangle

so c² is the area of it

then what we concluded is right

  • the hypotenuse is the blue side since it is the larger one
