Answer: only this

[2,3,√13]

2² + 3²  = 13

side is√13 this satisfies

if you take

5,5,2√10

5² + 5² ≠ (2√10)²[40]

this is not possible

or if you take

(2√10)² + 5² ≠ 5²  this is also not possible


if you take 5,12,15 this is not a Pythagorean triplet

5,12,13 can form a right angled triangle but this cannot


only the first one can form a right angled triangle






aaronsams: {2, 3, square root 13] {5, 5, 2squar root 10] {5, 12, 15} are the answers
sai0112: is this fine

first one has only two sides so it can't be a triangle

second one has two equal sides as the maximum length and in right triangle there is only one longest side I.e. hypotenuse

third one has 5, 12, 15
so, 15^2 should be equal to 5^2 + 12^2, which is not possible..... (Pythagoras theorem)

neither of the three are sides of a right triangle....

Hope this helps..... plsss make it the brainliest

aaronsams: {2, 3, square root 13] {5, 5, 2squar root 10] {5, 12, 15} are the answers sorry i messed up
ashpatel38: 2^2 + 3^2 = 13. (√13)^2 = 13...... this is true
ashpatel38: third is wrong .... i proved
ashpatel38: 5^2 + 12^2 = 169. 15^2 = 225..... they are not equal so answer is not possible
ashpatel38: hope this helps
ashpatel38: pls mark my answer brainliest
