Step-by-step explanation:
Right triangle obey the Pythagorean theorem. Thus, we choose the two smaller numbers (being the cathetus) and if after applying the P. Theorem we get the biggest of each option (the hypotenuse) that means that those numbers could be the sides of a right triangle.
The Pythagorean theorem states that:
Thus:
Option A:
→ 17 = 17 OK!
Option B:
→ 10 ≠ 12 NO
Option C:

≠ 21 NO
Option D:
→
≠ 16 NO
You can see that the term appears in both equations. In this cases, we can leverage this peculiarity and subtract the two equations to get rid of the repeated term. So, if we subtract the first equation from the second, we have
Now that we know the value of , we can substitute in any of the equation to deduce the value of
: if we use the first equation, for example, we have
