Question

17. Multiple choice. If the lengths of sides of a triangle satisfy a + b2 = c2,

the triangle is a right triangle. Which set of side lengths forms a right
triangle, where the longest side, c, is the hypotenuse?
A 1,2,3
B 6, 8, 10
C 1, 10, 11

the 2s by a b and c are squared

Answer 1

B) 6,8,10

Explanation:

I am not completely sure if I read this right, or not. But i believe that the equation a^2+b^2=c^2. If so then, 6^2 +8^2 =10^2, which means, 36 + 64 =100. Therefore proving that theory true. So the answer is B.
