Triangle UVW is formed by the three squares G, H, and I:
A right triangle UVW is shown. On the side UV of this triangle is a square. Inside the square is written Square G, Area equal to 81 square units. On the side VW of this triangle is another square. Inside the square is written Square H, Area equal to 144 square units. On the side UW of this triangle is another square. Inside the square is written Square I, Area equal to 225 square units.
Which statement best explains the relationship between the sides of triangle UVW?
UV + VW = UW, because 81 + 144 = 225
(UV)2 + (VW)2 = (UW)2, because 152 + 92 = 122
(UV)2 + (VW)2 = (UW)2, because 81 + 144 = 225
UV + VW = UW, because 152 + 92 = 122
