Answer:

The given statement is a FALSE statement.

Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem--

It states that if a and b are two legs of a right angled triangle and c is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle then,

The square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the two legs of the triangle.

i.e.


c^2=a^2+b^2

This theorem is true for all the right triangle.

Option: B is the correct answer.
