Is it possible to draw a triangle with a 6-millimeter side, an 8-millimeter side, and a 90° angle between them? Why or why not?

Choose the correct answer and explanation.
A) yes; It is possible because this would be an isosceles right triangle.
B) no; It is not possible because the third side length would be longer than the sum of 6 and 8.
C) yes; It is possible because this would be a right triangle with side lengths of 6 millimeters and 8 millimeters.
D) no; It is not possible because if the triangle has a 90° angle, two of the side lengths would have to be congruent.
