option B

Step-by-step explanation:

since two two angles are 45 degree it can be said that the other two smaller legs of a triangle are equal.

Hypotenuse is 90 degree because it is opposite of 90 degree (which is a largest angle).

out of these four options A and B are the possible answers.because its two sides are equal. Now we should check which one is correct by using pythagoras theorem.

for option A

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

$(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} )^2$ + $(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2})^2$ = $\sqrt{\sqrt{2} }$

$\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = 2$

take lcm of denominator

$\frac{3+3}{4} =2$

$\frac{6}{4}=2$

$\frac{3}{2 } =2$

this can not be the sides of the right angle because according to the pythagoras theorem to be the right angle sum of square of two smaller sides of a triangle must equal to the square of hypotenuse .But here it is not equal.so it cannot be the sides of right angle triangle.

For option B

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

$(3\sqrt{2} )^2 + (3\sqrt{2})^2 = 6^2$
