    Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

    This does not make a right triangle because the Pythagorean Theorem shows that 4^2 + 6^2 does not equal 8^2.

    16 + 36 = 64

    52 doesn't equal 64.

    This does not make a right triangle because according to the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2. 16+36 does not equal 64, thefore, the triangle with the following sides is not a right triangle.
