ANSWER

These three side lengths do form a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation

If the side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, then they form a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is always the longest side:


\begin{gathered} 65^2=16^2+63^2 \\ 4225=256+3969 \\ 4225=4225\text{ }\rightarrow\text{ true} \end{gathered}

These side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, therefore they form a right triangle.
