Laura draws a right triangle she then creates three squares using each side of the triangle shown
pic- triangle in the middle with three square on the edges of the triangle
which of the methods could laura prove the pythagorean theorem
1- to prove that the perimeter of the two smaller squares combined the perimeter of the triangle is equal to the perimeter of the large triangle
2- to prove that the perimeter of the two smaller squares combined is equal to the perimeter of the large square
3- to prove that the area of two smaller squares combined with the area of the triangle is equal to the area of the large squares
4- to prove that the area of two smaller squares combined is equal to the large square
