Which expression is equivalent to the area of square a, in square inches? a). 1/2(10)(24) b). 10(24) c). (10+24)^2 d). 10^2 + 24^2

First find the length of 1 side of A, using the Pyth. Thm. and the dimensions of the other two squares: (side of A)^2 = (10 in)^2 + (24 in)^2. Then:

(side of A)^2 = 100+ 576 in^2 = 676 in^2.

Here I have not bothered to solve for the length of the side of A, since we want the area of square A. But if you do want the side length, find it: sqrt(676) = 26 in. Then the area of A is (26 in)^2 = 676 in^2.

Then the area of square A is (26 in)^2 =

cpctc makes it so that corresponding parts of the triangle you proved to be equal are equal, the other options aren't part of the part of the triangles you proved to be equal.
