The set of side lengths that COULD be a RIGHT TRIANGLE is C. 9, 40, 41. This set of side lengths satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
