Step-by-step explanation:
If a triangle is a right triangle, then the lengths of its sides satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem, a

. To determine which choice is correct, test each set of values by substituting them into the Pythagorean Theorem. Start with the first set of numbers: 3, 13, and 14.

Since the result is not a true equality, the first set of values does not represent the side lengths of a right triangle. Test the other four choices. The only values that satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem are 5, 12, and 13.
