Answer:

A. 6, 8 and 10

Explanation:

To form a right triangle, side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c². Substitute the side lengths into the formula. Remember, a is the shortest side and c is the longest side.

6² + 8² = 10²

36+64 = 100

100 = 100 works

3² + 5² = 6²

9+25 = 36

34 = 36 does not work

7² + 8² = 10²

49 + 64 = 100

113 = 100 does not work

14² + 20² = 25²

169 + 400 = 625

569 = 625 does not work
