Question

Help plsss

Answer 1

(b) is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem,

A² + B² = C²

Where:

A = Length of side 1

B = Length of side 2

C = Hypotenuse

This rule applies to all right-angled triangles.

The length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is always the largest value.

Therefore, we can test the answers with the equation above.

(a)

8² + 18² = 20²

64 + 324 = 400

388 ≠ 400

The rule of Pythagorean theorem doesn't work on a, so (a) is not a right-angled triangle.

(b)

12² + 35² = 37²

144 + 1225 = 1369

1369 = 1369

The rule of Pythagorean theorem works here, so (b) is a right-angled triangle.
