Answer:

  B, C

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relation between the legs and hypotenuse is ...

  c² = a² +b²

The square of the hypotenuse is c² = 15² = 225. Both sides will be shorter than √225 = 15. This eliminates choices A and D.

The sum of the squares of the side lengths listed in choices B and C is 225, so those are appropriate selections.

  B: (√125)² +(10)² = 125 +100 = 225

  C: (√200)² +5² = 200 +25 = 225
