Answer:These lengths are that of a right triangle.

Explanation: The longest length for a right triangle is always the hypotenuse. So by applying Pythagoras

20 squared + 21 squared should give the same value as 29 squared

If this is not, then it is not a right triangle.

Consider 20 squared + 21 squared gives 841

Now compare this to 29 squared = 841

Conclusion: These lengths are that of a right triangle

your welcome :)
