You can put this solution on YOUR website!
7%5E2%2B24%5E2=49%2B576=625=25%5E2 , so it is a highlight%28right%29 triangle,
because the squares of the shorter side lengths
add up to the square of the longest side length.

A CHEAT:
for this type of problem,
you can search online for Pythagorean triples lists.
If 7,24,25 is in the list, those could be the length of the sides of a right triangle.
