To determine which of the triangles are right triangles, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for a triangle with sides (a), (b), and (c) (where (c) is the longest side), the triangle is a right triangle if:

[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ]

Please provide the side lengths of the four triangles so that I can help you identify the right triangles.
