Which equation represents the Pythagorean theorem, which can be used to find the magnitude of resultant vectors?

The Pythagorean theorem says that for perpendicular sides A and B, the square of the hypotenuse R equals the sum of their squares: R² = A² + B². This is used to find the magnitude of a resultant vector when its components are perpendicular. Choice D gives that equation.
