First find the decimal equivalent of square root 3: SQRT(3) = 1.732 ( roughly)
 
If the base and height were each 3, then the hypotenuse would need to be:

3^2 + 3^2 = C^2
9 + 9 = C^2
18 = C^2
C = SQRT(18) = 4.24

This is larger than sqrt(3), so this cannot be a right triangle.


If one leg was 3 and the other leg was sqrt(3) then the hypotenuse would be:
3^2 + 1.73^2 = C^2
9 + 3 = C^2
12 = C^2
C = SQRT(12) = 3.46

This is larger than 3, this cannot be a right triangle.

The answer is b) no.

Because it does not obey Pythagoras theorem  (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
