Use this: Pythagorean Thereom converse:
If the square of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.

13^2=169
12^2=144

Does 169 = 144 + 25 ?
If so, the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem applies and the lengths are lengths of the sides of a right triangle.
