Answer:

The answer is D. none of the above

Explanation:

The length of the sides of a right triangle will be related according to the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, A,B,C will not work with this formula.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter D

Explanation:

To demonstrate if the data are measurements of the sides of a right triangle use the pythagorean theorem.

c² = a² + b²

A. 25, 23, 7 25² = 23² + 7²

625 = 529 + 49

625 ≠ 578 These values are not of a right triangle

B. 9, 6,3 9² = 6² + 3²

81 = 36 + 9

81 ≠ 45 These values are not of a right triangle

c. 18, 15, 4 18² = 15² + 4²

324 = 225 + 16

324 ≠ 241 These values are not of a right triangle

D. none of the above This is the right answer
