Solution
The correct option is B R.H.S. property When a triangle possesses a right angle, it can be classified as a right-angled triangle where the measurement of the hypotenuse can be obtained given the length of the other two sides using Pythagoras Theorem. Also, the given angle is not mentioned that it is an included angle between the two sides. Hence, using the given information a triangle can be constructed using the RHS criterion.
