Which of the following sets of lengths can sean use to make a right triangle?
group of answer choices

{5 cm, 15 cm, 18 cm}

{6 cm, 12 cm, 16 cm}

{5 cm, 13 cm, 15 cm}

{8 cm, 15 cm, 17 cm}

{8 cm, 15 cm, 17 cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The length sides of a right triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

so

where

c is the greater side (the hypotenuse)

a and b are the legs (perpendicular sides)

Verify each case

case 1) we have

{5 cm, 15 cm, 18 cm}

substitute in the formula

----> is not true

therefore

Sean cannot make a right triangle with this set of lengths

case 2) we have

{6 cm, 12 cm, 16 cm}

substitute in the formula

----> is not true

therefore

Sean cannot make a right triangle with this set of lengths

case 3) we have

{5 cm, 13 cm, 15 cm}

substitute in the formula

----> is not true

therefore

Sean cannot make a right triangle with this set of lengths

case 4) we have

{8 cm, 15 cm, 17 cm}

substitute in the formula

----> is true

therefore

Sean can make a right triangle with this set of lengths
