Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter B

Explanation:

Process

To prove if three lengths form a right triangle they must agree with the Pythagorean theorem.

c² = a² + b²

c must be the longest side.

a)

7² = 5² + 6²

49 = 25 + 36

49 ≠ 61 These sides do not form a right triangle

b) 10² = 8² + 6²

100 = 64 + 36

100 = 100 These sides form a right triangle

c) 18² = 9² + 9²

324 = 81 + 81

324 ≠ 162 These sides do not form a right triangle
