Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

To solve this, the Pythagorean Theorem is needed. For option A, to make the statement true, 4 squared plus 7 squared MUST equal 9 squared. So, if you take 16 and add 49 to it you do NOT get 81.

For option B, 5 squared plus 12 squared is the same as 25 plus 144. That equals 169, which IS 13 squared.

It is not option C because 20 squared plus 22 squared doesn't equal 24 squared
