Which set of line segments could create a right triangle?
O24, 30, 35
O 12, 18, 30.
O 18, 24, 30
O 18, 24, 35

Answer 1

Answer: 18, 24, 30

For the segments to create a right triangle, they must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem.

The only set which satisfies the Pythagorean theorem, is 18, 24, 30, since
`18^(2)+24^(2)=30^(2)`
