I think your teacher is looking for choice b., but technically it's choice a., because any triangle can be split into right triangles by drawing appropriate altitudes and then using the theorem for those smaller right triangles.

B. Right triangles only!
a squared + b squared = c squared

So you might get the right answer and you might get the points, but do you get the knowledge? Knowledge is a valuable commodity, stupidity is worthless. Try listening more to your teachers and less to your computer screen.
