Question
Refer to the figure at the right, and use Corollary 2 to complete:$$a^{2}=\underline{?} \text { and } b^{2}=\underline{?}$$b. Add the equations in part (a), factor the sum on the right, and show that $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ .
Step 1
According to the explanation, $a^{2}$ is equal to the product of $d$ and $c$, and $b^{2}$ is equal to the product of $e$ and $c$. So we have: \[a^{2}=d * c\] \[b^{2}=e * c\] Show more…
