In a right triangle, the side that is opposite of the 90° angle is the longest side of the triangle, and is called the hypotenuse. The sides of a right triangle are commonly referred to with the variables a, b, and c, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the shorter sides.

you should square each of the smaller numbers and add them together. after that square the bigger number. if the results gotten is equivalent, it is a right angled triangle. feel free to clarify. I used pythagoras theorem to solve this btw
