use that pythagorean theorem...A^2 + B^2 = C^2

just make sure, when subbing in your numbers, that C is the biggest number
Now lets find our right triangles...I will do the first one for you..

A. (3,4,5)...A = 3, B = 4, C = 5
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2
9 + 16 = 25
25 = 25 (correct).....these equal, therefore, they are the sides of a right triangle.
Now see what you can do for the others
