Answer: These given lengths do not make up a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to figure out if this is a right triangle or not, we would need to use the Pythagorean Theorem in order to verify if these lengths satisfy the properties of a right triangle. We would need to use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

14^2 + 15.5^2 = 20.8^2

196 + 240.25 = 432.64

436.25 ≠ 432.64

Therefore, this is not a right triangle.
