NOTE: The right triangles are congruent with the following sides: the longer leg is a, the shorter

leg is b and the

hypotenuse is c.

1. What is the area of the right triangle?

2. Arrange the triangles so as they form a square with a square hole in the middle.
3. What is the length of the side of the square hole?
4. What is the area of the square hole?
5. What is the area covered by the triangles?
6. What is the length of the side of the square formed by the triangles?
7. What is the area of the square formed by the triangles?
8. What have you deduced from the activity?

NOTE: The right triangles are congruent with the following sides: the longer leg is a, the shorter leg is b and the
hypotenuse is c.

1. What is the area of the two squares?

2. Rotate the triangle on the left 90° counter clockwise on its upper vertex (Point O).
3. Rotate the triangle to the right 90° clockwise on its upper vertex (Point P).
4. Observe the new figure formed. What is its area?
5. What have you deduced from the activity?
