16, 24, 28

A) No​, because the given numbers do not satisfy the equation a squared plus b squared equals c squared.

B)Yes​, because the given numbers do not satisfy the equation a squared plus b squared equals c squared.

C)No​, because the given numbers satisfy the equation a squared plus b squared equals c squared.

you can get help from Pythagoras theorem:
[tex] {x}^{2} = {16}^{2} + {24}^{2} = 256 + 576 \\ {x }^{2} = 832 \\ x = \sqrt{832} = 28.84[/tex]
the hypotenuse is 28.84
I guess this can help you find the best answer.
