Pythagorean Theorem Quiz

What is the Pythagorean Theorem in words?

• The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

• The sum of the hypotenuse and one side is equal to the square of the other side.

• The square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the hypotenuse and the other side.

• The sum of all sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
