1. The set of side measurements that could be used to form a right triangle is √8, 5, and √17 option (C) is correct.

   What is a right-angle triangle?

   It is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are sharp angles. The sides of a right-angled triangle are known as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base.

   It is given that:

   The side length of the triangle is shown in the option:

   As we know,

   Pythagoras’ theorem is the square of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

   Using Pythagoras‘ theorem:

   From option(C):

   √8, 5, and √17

   (√8)² + (√17)² = 5²

   8 + 17 = 25 (True)

   Thus, the set of side measurements that could be used to form a right triangle is √8, 5, and √17 option (C) is correct.
