What would you make the size of one of the sides of a right triangle if its other side is 12cm and the hypotenuse is 20cm?

A triangle has the three sides of 2cm, 6cm, and

\sqrt[2]{10} cm
is it a right triangle-yes or no​

Explanation:

1. 400-144 = 256

unknown side = 16 cm

2.

√10 = 3.16

the biggest side is hypotenuse. assuming 6cm is the hypotenuse.

4+10= 14, which is different From hypotenuse. so it's not a triangle
