Answer 1

Pythagorean Theorem can be used only for right triangles.

(leg1)² +(leg2)² = hypotenuse ²

So, answer is the right triangle B.

Answer 2

Hey user!!!

the correct answer is triangle B

because Pythagoras theorem can be used in right angle triangles only.

here, Triangle B is the only right angle triangle.

in triangle B, 2 is perpendicular and 4 is base. the Missing side is hypotenuse.

we know that h² (hypotenuse) = p² (perpendicular) + b² (base)

=> h² = 2² + 4²

=> h² = 4 + 16

=> h² = 20

=> h = √20

hope u understood..

cheers!!!
