Adam needs to build a shed and he can only use triangular frames that form a right triangle for the corner walls. Which of the following dimensions for a triangular
frame should Adam use?
A 50 in., 110 in., 130 in.
B 25 in., 60 in., 65 in.
C 40 in., 44 in., 58 in.
D 130 in., 50 in, 60 in.

Option B: 25 inches, 60 inches and 65 inches is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use Pythagorean theorem to find out the dimensions that Adam should use.

A. 50 in, 110 in and 130 in

Using Pythagorean theorem;

These dimensions will not form a right triangle.

B. 25 in, 60 in, and 65 in

These dimensions of the frame will form a right triangle.

C. 40 in., 44 in., 58 in.

These dimensions will not form a right angled triangle.

D. 130 in., 50 in, 60 in

The larger dimension represents the hypotenuse in right angled triangle.

These dimensions will not form a right angled triangle.

Hence,

Option B: 25 inches, 60 inches and 65 inches is the correct answer.
