Answer:

None of these points form a right triangle.

Explanation:

IF YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND IF THE POINTS FORM A RIGHT TRIANGLE, THIS SHOULD WORK.

5,5,3 Explantation: To first start things off, we know our hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle. Using this information, we know that 5*2( 5 squared) is 25 and that 3 squared is 9. Now we add these two points and we get 34. (Don't forget to square the other side.) Now we have 34=25 which is not true sooo we know the points given do not form a RIGHT triangle.

The same goes with the other points. Once you solve them, neither of them form a right triangle. (Don't forget that we use a*2 + b*2=c*2) (The c should be the biggest point given!)

Hope this helps, if you have any questions please feel free to ask! :)
