If it's a right triangle, it follows the Pythagorean theorem.
A%5E2%2BB%5E2=C%5E2, where C is the longest side.
I'll do the first, you can do the other two the same way.
198%5E2%2B40%5E2=202%5E2
39204%2B1600=40804
40804=40804
True, so these sides do form a right triangle.
Do the others the same way, if you get a False as an answer then they are not the sides of a right triangle.
