I take it that you want to show it's a right angled triangle, therefore we need Pythagoras.

Explanation:

From our sides, we know that the longest side of the triangle is 90 units, therefore, this must be our hypotenuse.

Using Pythagoras # a^2 + b^2=c^2# with c being the hypotenuse
we assume that # 80^2 + 10^2 = 90^2#

Therefore to find c, we do #c=sqrt(80^2+10^2)#
where #c = 10sqrt(65)#

As c does not originally equal 90 like we hoped, this triangle unfortunately not right angled.
