The answer would be A because you would use the Pythagorean theorem which is a^2+b^2=c^2. Therefore it would be 36+64=100, which is correct. If you wanted to be sure do it for the rest and none of them will work. Hope this helps!

Answer: Option 'A' is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to find the set of side lengths which form a right triangle .

As we know the property of right triangle,

we need to find the length which satisfies the Pythagorus theorem,

which says that,


H^2=B^2+P^2

If we consider the set of side length

10 cm, 6 cm, 8 cm.

We can see that


10^2=6^2+8^2\\\\100=36+64\\\\100=100

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.
