Option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check each triangle with the Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2=b^2+c^2

Where "a" is the hypotenuse (the longest side) and "b" and "c" are the legs of the right triangle.

a) Given:

$a=5\ cm\\b=3\ cm\\c=4\ cm$

You get:

$(5 cm)^2=(3 cm)^2+(4 cm)^2\\\\25\ cm^2=25\ cm^2$

(This is a right triangle)

b) Given:

$a=12\ ft\\b=8\ ft\\c=6\ ft$

You get:

$(12\ ft)^2=(8\ ft)^2+(6\ ft)^2\\\\144\ ft^2\neq 100\ ft^2$

(This is not a right triangle)

c) Given:

$a=45\ cm\\b=36\ cm\\c=27\ cm$

You get:

$(45\ cm)^2=(36\ cm)^2+(27\ cm)^2\\\\2,025\ cm^2=2,025\ cm^2$

(This is a right triangle)
