Question 1 • Foundations of Math 1

Which set of side lengths forms a right triangle?

Answer
A
2, 3, 13
B
4, 6, 10
C
15, 36, 39
D
9, 12, 18

Explanation

For a right triangle, the square of the longest side must equal the sum of the squares of the other two sides. For 15, 36, and 39: 15² + 36² = 225 + 1,296 = 1,521, and 39² = 1,521. So the set 15, 36, 39 forms a right triangle.
