Answer 7

Use Pythagorean theorem on each of them until you find one where $$ A^2 + B^2 = C^2$$

Answer 8

just make sure that the biggest number is C, the hypotenuse

Answer 9

Not sure what it's supposed to equal or what I'm supposed to be looking for.

Answer 10

example :
A^2 + B^2 = C^2 ---- (6,7,8)
6^2 + 7^2 = 8^2
36 + 49 = 64
85 = 64....Nope...this one is not
