Answer:

A

Explanation:

Since the pythagorean theorem only apply to right triangle, you can take the biggest number, squared, and minus the second biggest, squared, and then square root the answer, you would find the shortest side.

And A is the only one that is correct.

61² - 60² = 121

Square root 121 is 11
