Select the procedure that can be used to show the converse of the Pythagorean theorem using side
lengths chosen from 5 cm, 9 cm, 12 cm, and 13 cm.
O A. Knowing that 92 + 122 132, draw the 9 cm
side and the 12 cm side with a right angle
between them. The 13 cm side will fit to
form a right triangle.
O B. Knowing that 52 + 122 = 132, draw the 5 cm
side and the 12 cm side with a right angle
between them. The 13 cm side will fit to
form a right triangle.
O C. Knowing that 52 + 122 = 132, draw any two
of the sides with a right angle between
them. The third side will fit to form a right
triangle.
OD. Knowing that 52 + 92 < 122, draw the 5 cm
side and the 9 cm side with a right angle
between them. The 12 cm side will fit to
form a right triangle.
