Answer:

Explanation:

(√2)^2 + (√5)^2 =

2 + 5 = 7

But that equals the hypotenuse squared. The actual value will be √7

======================

(√3)^2 + 4^2 =

3 + 16

19 But this equals the hypotenuse squared, so the answer is actually (√19 ) which isn't there. It might be a right triangle, but none of the answers match this one.

===========================

2^2 + (√5)^2 = 4 + 5 = 9

This is the square of the hypotenuse. √9 = 3 which is the last one.

===========================

(2)^2 + (2)^2 = 4 + 4 = 8

But the hypotenuse will be √8

==========================

1^2 + 2^2 = 1 + 4 = 5

The hypotenuse is √5
