C. cross multiply the ratios in part b to get a simplified equation
d. complete the proportions to compare the first and third triangle • c/a=
e. cross multiple the ratios in part d to get a simplified equation
f. complete the steps to add the equations from parts c and e. this will make one side of the pythagorean’s theorem. • part c: b^2=__
part e: a^2=__
a^2+b^2=__
g. factor out a common from part f. • a^2+b^2++
h. finally, replace the expression inside the parentheses with one variable and then simplify the equation to a familiar from. hint: look at the large triangle. • a^2+b^2=
a^2+b^2=__
