Answer:

27ft, 32ft, 45ft : Not a Right triangle

9ft, 40ft,41ft: Right triangle

Explanation:

45^2 (?) 27^2 + 32^2

2025 (?) 729 + 1024

2025 ≠ 1753; Not a Right triangle

41^2 (?) 9^2 + 40^2

1681 (?) = 81 + 1600

1681 = 1681 ; Right triangle

Answer: Read the explanation

Step-by-step explanation: (27+32)^2 does NOT equal 45^2, which means its not a right triangle.

(9+40)^2 DOES equals 41^2. Therefor making it a right triangle
