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.

It literally doesn't matter what the lengths are of the measurements of the right triangle, as long as one of the angles is indeed 90 degrees.
