Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity

If the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides then triangle is right.

longest side = 85 and 85² = 7225

36² + 77² = 1296 + 5929 = 7225

Thus the 3 sides form a right triangle

Answer 2

They can make a right traingle because both sides of the equation are equal these lengths do form a right triangle.
