Answer:

  • B. √96 in, √24 in, √120 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean to verify:

The square of the two smallest lengths is same as the square of the largest side

  • A. 108 + 72 = 180 ≠ 192, no
  • B. 96 + 24 = 120, yes
  • C. 132 - 24 = 108 ≠ 120, no
  • D. 168 - 72 = 96 ≠ 84, no

Correct choice is B

Answer:

Option B

Let's verify

  • P²+B²=H²
  • (√96)²+(√24)²=(√120)²
  • 96+24=120

Yes verified
