Yes because 3.3 squared + 5.6 Squared = 6.5 Squared

If you mean that you are taking a square, and bisecting it creating 2 right triangles, then no, purely by the definition of a square. The 6.5 will have to be the hypotenuse of both triangles. Therefore, the length and width would be 3.3 and 5.6. But, for this to be a square, the lenght = width. So, your answer is no without even doing any of the math.

the Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
You can rearrange to make it sqrt(a^2+b^2) = c
c will always be the biggest of the three, so plug the two smaller ones in for a and b and solve.
if the c is the third number than you have a perfect square.
I won't finish for you cause it's obviously a homework problem.

I'm guessing yes, because (3.3)^2 +(5.6)^2 = (6.5)^2

Nope a perfect square is like x^2 so examples are
1,4,9,16,25,36,49,81,100,121,144

No, they represent dimensions of a right triangle.
