Answer:

No, those three sides do not make up a right triangle.

Explanation:

Remark

The three sides will be related by a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Givens

a = 60

b = 63

c = 88

Solution

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

60^2 + 63^2 = 88^2

I would say no.

  • 88^2 ends in a 4.
  • 63^2 ends in a 9
  • 3600 ends in a 0
  • 0 + 9 <> 4

3600 + 3969 = 7569

88^2 = 7744

Conclusion

This is not a right triangle 7744 does not equal 7569
