How do you find the area of a square with three squares joining at their vertices to form a right triangle?

That sounds like a picture of Pythagoras' Theorem:
The square on the hypotenuse = the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
or symbolically:
a2 = b2 + c2
where a is length of the hypotenuse and b & c are the lengths of the other two sides.
If you need more information, please supply more information, for example which square's area you are trying to calculate and what information you do know.

How many vertices does a square triangle have?
3 squares and 4 triangles will have 24 vertices. There will be 4 vertices for each of the 3 squares. Since there are 3 squares, that will be 12 vertices. There are 3 vertices for each of the 4 triangles. Since there are 4 triangles, that will be 12 vertices. 12+12=24.
Definition of converse for pythagorean theroem?
Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.Converse: If the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides of a triangle, then it is a right triangle.
Can a trapezoid be formed into a square and triangle?
Yes, Some can even be formed into a square and two triangles or a rectangle and one or two triangles. Just drop perpendicular(s) from the vertex (vertices) of the short side to the long side (that is to say, the two sides which are parallel). That will form one or two right triangles and a rectangle of some sort...could be a square--all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.
What is the locus of points that are equidistant from the vertices of two opposite angles of the square?
The locus of the points equidistant from any two points is a straight line. In a square when the points are two opposite vertices this line will pass trough the other two vertices - extending the diagonal between those other two vertices outside the square.

What is the area of a triangle with vertices at -3 7 and 2 19 and 10 7?
By plotting the given vertices and then joining them together on the Cartesian plane the shape of a isosceles triangle will be formed with an area of 78 square units.
How many vertices does a triangle and a square have?
triangle 3, square 4.
Name a polygon that has less than 4 vertices?
A triangle has fewer than 4 vertices.
How can a triangle be a square?
A triangle can't be a square. A triangle only has 3 points, squares have 4.
How many more vertices does a triangle prism have than a square pyramid?
Triangular prism has 6 vertices. Square pyramid has 5 vertices. Answer: 1 vertex.
How many vertices does a square based triangle have?
There cannot be a square based triangle since both are 2-dimensional shapes.
What shapes are considered squares?
triangle square,rectangle
What is the ratio of squares to triangles in a triangle?
There are 2 triangles in a square so the ratio to square and triangle is 2 to 1

The corners of a shape are called vertices.
