The shorter leg on the triangle is 3 units long. So the area of a square with that side length is ___________.
The longer leg on the triangle is 4 units long. So the area of a square with that side length is _________.
Therefore, the hypotenuse is 5 units long. So the area of a square with that length is ________.
1: The shorter leg on the triangle is 3 units long. So the area of a square with that side length is ___________.
A square has equal lengths so a square with that side lengths is 3x3 = 9
2: The longer leg on the triangle is 4 units long. So the area of a square with that side length is _________.
Same thing, plug the side length to the square. 4x4 = 16
3: Therefore, the hypotenuse is 5 units long. So the area of a square with that length is ________.
I'll let you try this one. (Hint): (length^2)
