There are an infinite number of different right triangles. The only thing you can say about all of them is:
(the square of the length of the shortest side) plus (the square of the length of the next shortest side)
is equal to (the square of the length of the longest side)

It is a scalene triangle other than a right angle triangle
isosceles triangle
No the given measurements would not make a triangle because in order to construct a triangle the sum of its smallest sides must be greater than its longest side.
The three sides of a right triangle are represented by the variables a, b, and c. The variable calways represents the longest side. You can write the formula used above as . a-squared+ b-squared= c-squared
If it's not a right angled triangle and you don't have any of the angles but have the values of all three sides, then you need to use something called the Cosine Rule.
