This is a good problem to refresh basic geometry

The checking should include a random Pythagorean triple (given random natural numbers a>b: a^2-b^2, 2ab, and a^2+b^2 form a Pythagorean triple). For the checking right now, a~=2 passes the tests.

Basic triangle math plus if statements. Great example

Should add tolerance of 10*eps to make this function practical. Otherwise you can have a triangle with a 89.9999999 deg angle and it will say it is not a right triangle. Matlab is a numerical language.

This user (mohamed elbesealy) appears to have gamed the system, with fraudulent "likes" of this unremarkable solution submitted by 'sock-puppet' accounts. —DIV
