Determine which set of numbers can be the measures of the sides of a right triangle.
a. 30, 30, 30
b. 30, 40, 50
c. 30, 60, 90
d. 30, 31, 32

Note that only choices b and d could be lengths of the sides of a triangle, but for a RIGHT TRIANGLE, ONLY highlight_green%28CHOICE_b%29 is CORRECT, since a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2.

You can do the check!!
