Please answer! Will give brainiest! Which of the following side lengths could form a right triangle? Circle all that apply
A. 3, 7, 10 B. 4, 9, 10 C. 5, 12, 13 D. 6, 8, 10

Respuesta :

Answer:

C. 5, 12 and 13

D. 6, 8 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if three side lengths would give you a right triangle, you have to use the Pythagoras Theorem which is a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse (longest side) and a and b are adjacent to the right angle.

A. 3² + 7² ≠ 10²

9 + 49 ≠ 100

58 ≠ 100

B. 4² + 9² ≠ 10²

16 + 81 ≠ 100

97 ≠ 100

C. 5² + 12² = 13²

25 + 144 = 169

169 = 169

D. 6² + 8² = 10²

36 + 64 = 100

100 = 100
