A.202, 198,40
B.28, 26, 12
C.17,14,6
D. all of the above

Answer 1

A right triangle has the following properties

\(\large a^2+b^2=c^2 \)

Plug in the numbers and see if the equation is true

Answer 2

For example A

\(\Large 40^2+198^2=202^2 \)

\(\Large 1600+39204 = 40804 \)

\(\Large 40804=40804 \)

the equation turns out to be true, so A would be a right triangle

Answer 3
