Best Answer

Add the squares of the two smaller sides. Is it equal to the square of the biggest side? If yes, it is a right angled triangle.

82 + 152 = 64 + 225 = 289

172 = 289

The same, so it is right angled.

Can 18 24 30 be the side lengths of a right triangle?

YES. 18 and 24 are the two leg lengths and 30 is the hypotenuse then by Pythagoras' Theorem :- 182 + 242 = 302 324 + 576 = 900......which is true and therefore the three side lengths 18, 24 and 30 do form the sides of a right-angled triangle.
