Q20 of 124 Page 364

Which of the following sets of triangles could be the lengths of the sides of a right-angled triangle:

For a right angled triangle, minimum condition to be satisfied is the Pythagoras Theorem which is stated mathematically as below:

(Hypotenuse) 2 = (Base) 2 + (Perpendicular) 2


So let us try each and every option,


For option A:


262 = 92 + 162


676 = 81 + 256


676 ≠337


So this option is not correct.


For option C:


3.92 = 3.62 + 1.52


15.21 = 12.96 + 2.25


15.21 = 15.21


So this option is correct.


For option D:


262 = 72 + 242


676 = 49 + 574


676 ≠ 623


So this option is not correct.


So the correct answer is C.
