When you have a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem: \[a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] Where a,b,c are the sides of the triangle. Note that c is the hypoteneuse of the triangle, so you should find the hypoteneuse in each set first. If for some set, the Pythagorean Theorem holds true, the triangle is right.
