Select the procedure that can be used to show the converse of the Pythagorean theorem using side lengths chosen from 6 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, and 13 cm.

A. Knowing that 6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2, draw the 6 cm side and then the 8 cm side with a right angle between them. The 10 cm side will fit to form a right triangle.

B. Knowing that 6^2 + 8^2 > 9^2, draw the 6 cm side and then the 8 cm side with a right angle between them. The 10 cm side will fit to form a right triangle.

C. Knowing that 8^2 + 9^2 does not equal 10^2, draw the 8 cm side, then the 9 cm side with a right angle between them. The 10 cm side will fit to form a right triangle.

D. Knowing that 6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2, draw any two of the side with a right angle between them. The third side will fit to form a right triangle.
