Answer:

Yes, the sides would form a right triangle.

Explanation:


99^2 + 20^2 = 101^2\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\99^2 + 20^2 = 10201\\\\9801 + 400 = 10201\\\\\boxed{10201 = 10201}

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Yes, Yes they are. Unless they are supposed to be in the order "20 99101" then they are most definitely a pythagorean triple.
