1 answer
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. Since the question does not mention anything about the triangle being a right triangle, we cannot determine the relationship of the sides using the Pythagorean Theorem. Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the options given.
