A Right Triangle must satisfy the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2
From the given side lengths, let a = 12, b = 15, c = 20 (c cannot be less than a or b)
a2 + b2 = (12)2 + (15)2
a2 + b2 = 144 + 225 = 369
c2 = (20)2 = 400
a2 + b2 ≠ c2 (369 ≠ 400)
Therefore, a Triangle with side lengths of 12, 15 and 20 is NOT a Right Triangle
Note: Since a2 + b2 < c2 (369 < 400), the Triangle is an Obtuse Triangle
