Answer:

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

According to the Pythagoras theorem, in a right angled triangle the sum of squares of both legs is equal to the square of hypotenuse.


hypotenuse^2=perpendicular^2+base^2

From the given triangle it is clear that the measure of both legs are 6 units and √(63) units , and the measure of hypotenuse is 10 units.


(10)^2=(√(63))^2+(6)^2

Solve the LHS,


LHS=(10)^2


LHS=100

Solve the RHS,


RHS=(√(63))^2+(6)^2


RHS=63+36


RHS=99


LHS\\eq RHS

The given triangle FGH is not a right angled triangle, therefore the correct option is B.
