Either some studied properties of triangles or your intuition should tell you that the longest side would be opposite of the right angle. Having one right angle should permit the use of Pythagorean theorem. Try using this and see if it gives a true statement (equality). Is 5%5E2%2B5%5E2=6%5E2, true?
