Question

Which side lengths form a right triangle 30 POINTS!!

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 3, 4, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A:

LHS = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25

RHS = 5² = 25

(3, 4, 5) is a right triangle.

Option B:

LHS = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113

RHS = 9² = 81

(7, 8, 9) is NOT a right triangle.

Option C:

LHS = 3² + 9² = 9 + 81 = 90

RHS = √95² = 95

(3, 9, √95)  is NOT a right triangle.
