Let the two smaller sides be a and b, and let the largest side be c.
If a^2 + b^2 = c^2, then it is a right triangle. This is called the Pythagorean theorem.

if the two shorter sides squared = the longest side of triangle squared then the triangle is right angled due to the pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

In a right triangle, the side lengths are equal, making the angles 90 degrees, 45 degrees, and 45 degrees.

yes, if you use "a^2 + b^2 = c^2"
a) being the short side
b) being the middle side
c) being the long side
as long as this equation is equal, you have a Right Triangle
