Which of the following measurements could be the side lengths of a right triangle? A. 66 in, 88 in, 110 in
B. 66 in, 88 in, 132 in
C. 66 in, 99 in, 110 in
D. 55 in, 88 in, 110 in
So the way to figure out the sides of a right triangle, is basically
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
Letter A is the only one that would work, because the first number squared (times itself), added to the second number squared, would equal the third number squared. This is a basic principle of the pythagorean theorem, which I can explain in more detail if you'd like. :)
