To solve for the lengths of the right triangle sides. which equation is correct? x^2 = (2x - 2)^2 + (x + 4)^2 x^2 + (x + 4)^2 = (2x - 2)^2 x^2 = (2x - 2)^2 - (x + 4)^2

Solution

Pythogorous theorem :

Hypotenuse² = side₁² + side₂²

Here Hypotenuse = x +4

side₁ = x , side₂ = 2x -2

==> (x + 4)² = x² + (2x - 2)²

==> x² + (2x - 2)² = (x + 4)² (Option D)
