    The Pythagorean theorem states that:

    c^2=a^2+b^2

    where;

    c=hypotenuse

    a and b are the legs

    Therefore, testing the triangle whose dimensions are: 11,60 and 61 taking

    11 and 60 as the legs and 61 as the hypotenuse, we shall have:

    61^2=11^2+60^2

    3721=121+3600

    3721=3721

    since the LHS=RHS it implies that the triangle satisfies the Pythagorean theorem hence we conclude that it is a right angled triangle
