To prove that this a right triangle, just plug these numbers in the Pythagorean Theorem.

Let's assume the longest side is the hypotenuse.

Let's see if these two expressions are equal

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

32^2 + 60^2 = 68^2

1024 + 3600 = 4624

4624 = 4624

Since all these side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem, the statement must be true.

Have an awesome day! :)
