Oh, that's a happy little question! To find out if those measurements make a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. If the square of the longest side (the hypotenuse) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then it's a right triangle. Let's calculate and see if these numbers create a beautiful right triangle on our canvas.

What three measurements could be the length of the side of a triangle?
They could be 3 cm by 4 cm by 5 cm for a right angle triangle.
Could these be side measurements for a right triangle 5 12 13?
Yes because they comply with Pythagoras' theorem.
Can a scalene triangle have a right angle?
No because otherwise it would be a right angle triangle.
Do these three sides make a right triangle 5 5 3?
3, 5, 5 does not make a right angle triangle but they can make an isosceles triangle Correct. Try 3,4,5. That will be a right triangle. 3x3 plus 4x4 = 5x5
