Number SIX

Write an addition statement using these three squares .
12cm2+5cm2=13 cm2

What are the side lengths of each ?

Hypotenuese = A = 169cm 2 (13cm)
Leg 1 = A = 144cm2 (12cm)
Leg 2 = A = 25cm2 (5cm)


Describe, using words and symbols, the relationship between the side lengths of
each square ?

The relationship between the side lengths of each square shows that the triangle is a right triangle. Because the Pythagorean Relationship is true. Because the are of the legs equal the are of the hypotenuse.
