Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition for a right triangle with sides a, b, c, where c is the hypotenuse,

the following must be true:

a² + b² = c²

By using this formula on all the choices, we find that only D satisfies this formula

i.e.

for

a = √35 --------> a² = 35

b = √14 --------->b² = 14

c = 7 ------> c² = 49

a² + b² = 35 + 14 = 49 which is equal to the value of c² above

The correct answer is √35 , √14 , 7

What is Pythagoras theorem?

Pythagoras' theorem that the square of a right triangle's hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

p^2 + b^2 = h^2 ( In a right angled triangle)

p = perpendicular of the triangle

b = base of the triangle

h = hypotenuse of the triangle

According to the Pythagoras theorem:

p^2 + b^2 = h^2 (In a right angled triangle)

In Option D

(√35)^2 + (√14)^2 = 7^2

49 = 49

Pythagoras theorem is followed in this triangle, hence it is a right angled triangle.
