Which statement best explains why the sum of the areas of the two white squares in Figure two is the same as the area of the white square in figure one

Statement 1 best explains why the sum of the areas of the two white squares in fig 2 is the same as the area of the white square in fig 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1:

In each figure the total area is equal and the area of 4 triangles is equal, so the remaining white area must also be equal.

Explanation:

Total area of each square = ab*ab

Fig 1 has 4 triangle each with area = ab/2

Total area of non-white part in fig 1 = 4*(ab/2) = 2*ab

Fig 2 has 2 non-white rectangles each with area = a*b

Total area of non-white rectangles in fig 2 = 2*ab

As non-white area of fig 1 = non-white area of fig 2

The remaining white area must also be equal.
