What does the Pythagorean Theorem state about the squares on the sides of a right-angled triangle?

• The areas of the squares on the sides are equal.

• The area of the square on the hypotenuse is half the sum of the areas of the squares on the other sides.

• The area of the square on one side equals the sum of the areas of the squares on the hypotenuse and the other side.

• The area of the square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the areas of the squares on the other sides.
