The right triangle has a big square with an area of 73 sq. units . What could the area of the small squares be .

9514 1404 393

  E.  40 and 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the sum of the areas of the smaller squares will match the area of the largest square.

The answer choices have sums of ...

  A: 76; B: 73; C: 96; D: 66; E: 73

So, choices with the correct sum are B and E.

If this question asks you to "choose all that apply," then B & E will be your answer choices.

We note that the areas of the smaller squares appear to be not much different in size. If their areas were 23 and 50, the smaller square would be less than half the size of the larger one. So, if the figure is drawn approximately to scale, the choice of 40 and 33 is a better choice.

all the angles opposite to the angle 150 would be 150 and all the angles that are next to 150 are 30 because they equal 180 it you add it up.
