Yes, because the equation for solving a right triangle's hypotenuse is a2 + b2 = c2. So lets say 16 is a and 12 is b and 20 is c. Now a=256 and b=144 and c=400. Because 256 + 144 = 400 these measurments would make a right triangle. Understand?

Can a right triangle have sides of 10 and 12?
Yes.
The legs of a triangle are 5 and 12 What is the perimeter?
With sides of 5 and 12, you can make a triangle with any perimeter you want between 24 and 34. If you call them "legs" because they are the sides of a right triangle, then the hypotenuse is 13, and the perimeter is 30.
What is the length of the triangle if it's sides are 9 and 15?
It's a right angle triangle and its length is 12 units of measurement.
What is the area of a right triangle with sides of 5 12 and 13?
Area = 0.5*5*12 = 30 square units
Do the sides seven nine and 12 form a right triangle?
No. If they did, then A2 + B2 = C2. Try this using 7, 9, and 12: 72 = 49. 92 = 81. 49 + 81 = 130. But 122 = 144, which is not equal to 130, so these can't be the sides of a right triangle.
Can a right triangle have sides of 10 and 12?
Yes.
A triangle with sides of lengths 12 15 and 20 is a right triangle?
False. It can't be.In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two short sides is equal to the squareof the longest side.122 = 144152 = 225-------------sum = 369202 = 400, not 369.So these are not the sides of a right triangle.
What is the length of EF in the right triangle 19 and 12?
The answer depends on the labels of the sides which are 19 and 12.
What is the hypotenuse of an equalateral triangle with 12 foot sides?
If you divide the equilateral triangle into two right angle triangles then the hypotenuse will be 12 feet.
Find the missing side of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 if one of the sides of the triangle is 5?
12
The legs of a triangle are 5 and 12 What is the perimeter?
With sides of 5 and 12, you can make a triangle with any perimeter you want between 24 and 34. If you call them "legs" because they are the sides of a right triangle, then the hypotenuse is 13, and the perimeter is 30.
What is a triangle with 12 sides called?
There is no such thing as a triangle with twelve sides.
Do 5 12 13 form a right angled triangle?
Yes they do for a triangle using Pythagorean theorem 5 squared + 12 squared = 13 squared
What is the length of the triangle if it's sides are 9 and 15?
It's a right angle triangle and its length is 12 units of measurement.
Is A triangle with sides of lengths 12 15 and 20 a right triangle?
No. Pythagoras' theorem states that when the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides then it is a right-angled triangle. The hypotenuse is the longest side (opposite the supposed right angle). In this case the hypotenuse is 20. The square of 20 is 400. The other two sides are 12 and 15. The square of 12 is 144 and the square of 15 is 225. The sum is therefore 225 + 144 = 369, which is not equal to 400, therefore the triangle cannot be a right-angled triangle.
Can you make a triangle out of the measurements 7 centimeters 9 centimeters and 12 centimeters?
i its isosceles
What is the area of a right triangle with sides of 5 12 and 13?
