B.
5, 9, 10

C.
6, 10, 13

D.
7, 24, 25

Answer 1

to test if given number defines a right triangle you have to use Pythagorean theorem
\[\huge\rm a^2 +b^2 = c^2\] plug in a b and c value
remember c is the longest side if right triangle
if both sides are equal then yes those 3 lengths makes a right triangle

Answer 2

for example A)
4 . 8 , 9 c is 9 because it's the bigger number
\[4^2 + 8^2 = 9^2\]
solve it and let me know if both sides are equal or no :-)
