Use Pythagoras equation
h^2 = a^2 + b^2
That is the sum of the two shorter sides squared, must equal the longer side squared.
To test
17^2 = 289
8^2 = 64
10^2 = 100
100 + 64 = 164 NOT equal to 289. Hence it does NOT form a right-angled triangle.
However, the sum of the two shorter sides ( 10 + 8 = 18) is longer than the longest side(17) , so it will form a scalene triangle.

Can a triangle with a legs of 24 and 17 and a hypotenuse of 40 be a right triangle?
24^2 + 17^2 is 576 + 289 = 865 and is not equal to 40^2 which is 1600, hence it is not a right triangle
If the legs of a right triangle are 32 and 17 inches long What is the area of the triangle?
The area is 272 square inches.32*17/2=272
Can you make a right triangle with sides of length 17 20 and 37?
No. In fact, if you make a triangle with sides of 17, 20, and 37, anybody who sees it thinks that it's just a piece of straight line. The 17 and the 20 lie down along the 37. The triangle is "degenerate" ... two of its angles are zero, and the third angle is 180 degrees, and two of its sides lie on top of the third side.
What is the perimeter of a triangle when the sides are 15 17 10?
Add all three sides. Perimeter = 15 + 17 + 10 = 42
Can 8 15 17 make up pythagorean theorem?
Yes because the given numbers complies with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle
