Which statement best explains why the sum of the areas of the two white squares in Figure 2 is the same as the area of the white square in Figure 1? a) In each triangle, the length of side a plus the length of side b equals the length of side c. That means that a^2 + b² = c^2.
b) In each figure the total area is equal and the area of the 4 triangles is equal, so the remaining white area in each figure must also be equal.

c) The combined area of the four triangles is equal to the area of the large white square. Tumble
