Answer:Therefore in this problem 7 is the larger length and should be the hypotenuse, and 5 and 6 should be the lengths of the other two sides. ... If the sum of the squares of the 2 legs of a triangle is equal to the square of the triangle's hypotenuse, then the triangle is a right triangle.

So in order to tell if something makes a right triangle we would use the formula Pythagorean theorem.a^2+b^2=c^2 and it must be equal and the same if not then those sides cant be use to make a right triangle

5^2+6^2=7^2

25+36=49

61=49

No ! False
