Answer:

Option B can be the side lengths in a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of a right triangle obey the Pythagoras Theorem which gives  

[tex](\textrm {Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm {Base})^{2} + (\textrm {Perpendicular})^{2}[/tex]

We know that the length of hypotenuse of a right triangle is the longest side of the triangle.

Now, we have to select from options which side length combination is of a right triangle.  

In option A, 25² ≠ 8² + 20². Hence, it does not represent a right triangle.

In option B, 41² = 9² + 40². Hence, it represents a right triangle.

In option C, 45² ≠ 10² + 40². Hence, it does not represent a right triangle.

In option D, 31² ≠ 6² + 30². Hence, it does not represent a right triangle.

Therefore, option B can be the side lengths in a right triangle. (Answer)
