u can see if it is a right triangle bu using the pythagorean theorem (or however it is spelled)

a^2 + b^2 = c^2....where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse (the largest side)

so lets sub our numbers in and see if they equal
33^2 + 56^2 = 65^2
1089 + 3136 = 4225
4225 = 4225.......correct...so YES, this is a right triangle

You would've have to put 33, 56, and 65 in the Pythagorean thrum. So, 33^2 + 56^2 = 65^2,
Then solve. 1089 + 3136 = 4225, 4225 = 4225. So A is the correct answer
