Question

Which one of the following sets of numbers represents the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?

A.
13, 35, 37

B.
5, 10, 15

C.
9, 40, 41

D.
6, 9, 10

Can you tell me the reason too.
I'll give metals.

Answer 1

Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
so for example, does
6^2 + 9^2 = 10^2 ?
36 + 81 = 100
117 = 100
but 117 does not equal 100
therefore Option D, 6 9 10 will not work for a right triangle.
then you can try plugging in like I had for the rest of them :)
