Answer:

2. (only)

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. To determine if these are right triangles, determine if that condition is met.

1. 3^2 +5^2 = 9 + 25 = 34 ≠ (√35)^2 . . . . not a right triangle

2. 5^2 +4^2 = 25 +16 = 41 = (√41)^2 . . . a right triangle

3. 6^2 +8^2 = 36 +64 = 100 ≠ (√10)^2 . . . . not a right triangle

4. 3^2 +3^2 = 9 +9 = 18 ≠ (3√3)^2 = 27 . . . . not a right triangle
