Answer:

for us to consider if the three numbers can be the lengths of a right angle:

use the Pythagoras theorem and assume that the last number there is not there. you can assume any number is not there but still follow the Pythagoras theorem.

so I assumed that the longest lengths are not there which represents the hypotenuse.

so when I use the Pythagoras theorem I'll get to know which is correct and which is wrong.

Explanation:

in case you don't understand feel free to ask.
