Answer:

Explanation:

The two smaller line lengths are squared separately and added. The square of the third line is noted. If squares of the two small ones equal the square of the largest one, you are working with a right angle triangle.

The one that puts into a formula what is stated above is B. D is close, but the longest line must be by itself.
