Solution

The correct option is B
False

Let the base, height and hypotenuse of a right triangle be x, y and z respectively.

$b a s e^{2} + h e i g h t^{2} = (h y p o t e n u s e)^{2}$ ..........[Pythagoras theorem]

$x^{2} + y^{2} = z^{2}$

$\to$ Hypotenuse and sides forming the right angle are related.

So, the given statement is false.
