The answer is a) 6,8,10. This is because 6² + 8² = 10². These are also called Pythagorean triples, because they are the sides of a right triangle.
The other sets of numbers do not work out this way. Although they could be the sides of a triangle, the triangle will not have a right angle.

I'll assume you mean Pythagorean triple here.
Such a triple must satisfy a²+b²=c².
In that case the only triple is a) 6,8,10
because 6²+8²= 36+64 = 100 = 10².
Let's look at the other 3 cases:
8²+10² = 64+ 100 = 164 and 12² = 144.
7²+15² = 49+225 = 274 and 18² = 324.
finally,
9²+11² = 81+121 = 202 and 14² = 196,
so none of the other 3 answers satisfy
the Pythagorean relationship.

i've got not heard of a "suitable triple." My maximum suitable wager is that somebody used that word in bearing on a triangle which would be made by using using those section lengths, and this is a suitable triple if it leads to a staggering triangle. If it rather is the staggering definition, then confident, those section lengths type a staggering triangle. (to teach, use the pythagorean theorem. 6x6 + 8x8 = 10x10 in view that 36+sixty 4=a hundred). actually, taking a triangle with factors of three, 4, and 5, and multiplying them by using the comparable integer will bring about a staggering triangle.

a) because 6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2
that is, if we're talking about Pythagorean triples

6,8, and 10
I assume you are talking about Pythagorean triples
Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 8^2
=36 + 64
= 100
=10^2
So 6,8, and 10 are the triples.
This theorem is true for any three sides of a right triangle.

A. They both add up by 2 and the others have no pattern.
