The correct answer is: [B]: ___________________________________________________________ "<span>The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs." ___________________________________________________________ Note: Hence the formula / equation for the Pythagorean theorem for a right triangle: </span><span>a</span>² + b² = c² ;
in which "c" is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle; & in which "a" and "b" are the lengths of the other two sides of the right triangle. ______________________________________________________
B. the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs.
that is your right answer because to find out if a triangle is a right triangle, you use the p<span>ythagorean theorem to find it. </span> a² + b² = c²
