Answer:

4 and 5 are

Explanation:

1 and 2 are the same and neither is a triangle let alone a right triangle. 5+10 = 15 The two smaller sides will not form an apex: the 3rd side is too large.

3 does not have a 3rd side listed but the only way to get a right triangle is if the third side is sqrt(2)

4 Yes

8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2

64 + 225 = 289

64 + 225 does equal 289 which is 17^2

5 Yes

14^2 = 196

48^2 = 2304

Sum = 2500

50^2 = 2500

So this triangle does obey the Pythagorean Theorem
