Determine whether a Triangle with side lengths of 11.4, 21.2 and 23 is a Right Triangle

A Right Triangle must satisfy the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2
From the given side lengths, let a = 11.4, b = 21.2, c = 23  (c cannot be less than a or b)
a2 + b2 = (11.4)2 + (21.2)2
a2 + b2 = 129.96 + 449.44 = 579.4
c2 = (23)2 = 529
a2 + b2 ≠ c2  (579.4 ≠ 529)
Therefore, a Triangle with side lengths of 11.4, 21.2 and 23 is NOT a Right Triangle
Note: Since a2 + b2 > c2  (579.4 > 529), the Triangle is an Acute Triangle
