A. The Pythagorean theorem states that if a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of its legs is greater than the square of its hypotenuse.
B. The Pythagorean theorem states that if the square of one side of a triangle is less
than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.
C. The Pythagorean theorem states that if a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of its legs equals the square of its hypotenuse.
D. The Pythagorean theorem states that if the square of one side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.
