Have you learned about how to find the hypotenuse yet? If so:

The Pythagorean Theorum states that

a^2+b^2= c^2 (sorry, that was the best way I could type squaring numbers, but ^2 means to square the number)

If you plug it in:

10^2 + 60^2 = 65^2

After solving:

100 + 3,600 = 4225
3,700 = 4225

3,700 and 4,225 are NOT equal, so therefore, it is not possible to make a right triangle using the lengths of 10 ft, 65 ft, and 60ft
