Answer 2

Answer:

D) 5, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of a right angle triangle must satisfy the Pythagorean relationship (Base)^2 +(Perpendicular)^2 = (Hypotenuse)^2

The length of these three sides (generally represented as a,b,c where a,b,c are positive integers) are together called a Pythagorean Triplet which satisfy the relationship a^2+b^2=c^2.

In all the options present here, only the last option consists of a Pythagorean Triplet i.e. 5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2.
