Respuesta :

The Answer Is A! I have done this Question and 100% sure is correct! 
I hope this help! 

The numbers that represent the areas of the green, red, and yellow squares (in that order) is (a) 6, 8, 14

From the question, we understand that the blue triangle is a right-angled triangle.

This means that:

[tex]\mathbf{a^2+ b^2 =c^2}[/tex] ---- Pythagoras theorem

Testing option (a), we have:

[tex]\mathbf{a^2 = 6, b^2 = 8, c^2 = 14}[/tex]

Substitute these values in [tex]\mathbf{a^2+ b^2 =c^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{6 + 8= 14}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{14= 14}[/tex]

The above equation is true

So, the area of the squares are:

[tex]\mathbf{Green = a^2 =6}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Red = b^2 =8}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Yellow = c^2 =14}[/tex]

Hence, the true statement is (a) 6, 8, 14
