Please help me, I will give the best answer brainliest. I have a deadline finish of today, and I really want to get my work done... The following figures show the first two steps of a proof of the pythagorean theorem, which of the following statements about this proof is false? Thank you if you can help :)

so since there isn't any pics to work with, here we go.

the pytha theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, you've probably seen/heard this all the time but really know what it means.

It means the the shorter side of the triangle (the ones that aren't the hypotenuse) multiplied by themselves, and then added together equals the hypotenuse also multiplied by itself.

So if i have a triangle with sides lengths of 3 and 4, and I want to calculate the hypotenuse length, the equation would be 3^2 + 4^2 = x^2

we then get 9 + 16 = x^2 –––––> 25 = x^2 ––––> √25 = x

so the hypotenuse equals 5.

hope this helps.

goog may be able to you find that answer
