    Step-by-step explanation:

    Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity.

    If the longest side squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.

    The longest side = 61, thus

    61² = 3721

    12² + 60² = 144 + 3600 = 3744 ≠ 3721

    Thus these sides do not form a right triangle.
