    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.

    31² = 961

    16² + 30² = 256 + 900 = 1156

    Since 961 ≠ 1156 then the sides do not form a right triangle.
