Answer:

No, Maria is incorrect.

(a+b)^2 is actually equal to a^2 + 2ab + b^2.

Let me know if this helps!
We now have two formulas for (a+b)², which means we can set equation 1, from earlier, and equation 2 equal to one another.

Lastly, subtract 2ab from both sides, and look there’s the Pythagorean theorem!
