a^2 + b^2 = c^2. So your answer is going to be the first two numbers squared added together is going to equal the third number squared.

So if we try it out on one of your options, let's say option b, we need to substitute so the expression is 15^2 + 36^2 = 39^2. So now we need to solve the squares to get 225+1296=1521. Now all we need to do is find the square root of 1521 which is 39. So we know that b is the answer because all of the numbers substitute and equate properly.
