A The sum of the 2 smaller sides is equal to the third side.
B The absolute value of the difference between the squares of the 2 smaller sides is equal to square of the third side.
C The sum of the squares of the 2 smaller sides is equal to the square of the third side.
DThe sum of the squares of the 2 smaller sides is equal to the third side.
