Answer:

A and C

Explanation:

  • A right triangle consists of two legs and a hypotenuse.
  • To find hypotenuse, we use The Pythagorean Theorem
  • The Pythagorean Theorem =
    {a}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {c}^(2)
  • two legs meet at a 90° angle and the hypotenuse is the longest side

3 - 4 - 5

6 - 8 - 10

7 - 24 - 25

5 - 12 - 13

are some basic right triangle

(about more, look picture)

Just use hypotenuse formula :

3 x 3 = 9

4 x 3 = 12

5 x 3 = 15

Option C is correct


{5}^(2) + { √(6) }^(2) = { √(31) }^(2)

Option A is correct


{5}^(2) + {5}^(2) = { √(50) }^(2)

But B isn't correct

Hope this helps ^-^
