The area of the square A will be:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 25
Square A stands on the hypotenuse of the right triangle, so its side is the hypotenuse. By Pythagoras’ theorem, the square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
Hypotenuse2 \(=3^2+4^2=9+16=25\)
Area of square A = side2 = hypotenuse2 = 25 cm2
