Check by using the Pythagorean Theorem: c² = a² + b²
C is the largest value: c = 12.3 Therefore, a = 6.2 and b = 8.1
(or a = 8.1 and b = 6.2; it doesn't make any difference)
Check this: does 12.3² = 6.2² + 8.1² ?
12.3² = 151.29
6.2² + 8.1² = 38.44 + 65.61 = 104.05
Since these values aren't equal, it is not a right triangle.
