luigi0210 · Answer

A right triangle has the following properties 

$\large a^2+b^2=c^2 $

Plug in the numbers and see if the equation is true

luigi0210 · Answer

For example A

$\Large 40^2+198^2=202^2 $

$\Large 1600+39204 = 40804 $

$\Large 40804=40804 $ 

the equation turns out to be true, so A would be a right triangle
