Which number is the greatest? Try THAT as the hypotenuse, and form the three numbers into the Pythagorean Theorem equation. If the equation is true, then the three sides given form a right triangle. If the equation is false, then the three sides do not form a right triangle.
Note: 5*sqrt(26)=5*5.0990... which is very near to 25. The irrational number given is the longest side, so it is the hypotenuse.
With that discussion, can you solve and answer the question yourself?
