Solution
Step 1
Define the Pythagorean theorem
It states in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypothenuse side is equal to the square of the sum of the other 2 sides.
Step 2
Draw a conclusion from the definition
The sum of the areas of the two smallest squares is equal to the sum of the area of the largest square
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area of smaller squares are} \\ 3\times3=9unit^2 \\ 4\times4=16unit^2 \\ \text{Area of bigger square = 5}\times5\text{ = 25} \\ \text{Hence} \\ 25\text{ = 9+16} \\ 25unit^2=25unit^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence the right answer is option B
