Answer:

{57, 76, 94}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the set of numbers to represent the the sides of a right triangle, the square of the longest side must be equal to the sum of the square of other two sides

For the first option:

{57, 76, 94}

Longest side = 94

Square of the longest side = 94^2 = 8836

Sum of the square of other two sides = 57^2 + 76^2

Sum of the square of other two sides = 9025

Since both values are bot equal hence teh set of number {57, 76, 94} does not represent the sides of a right triangle.
