Given lengths do not form a triangle and question of forming right angled triangle does not arise.
Explanation:
To determine whether given lengths form a right angled triangle or not,
the square on the largest side should be equal to
sum of the squares on other two sides.
But given lengths form a triangle only if length of the largest side is less than sum of the smaller two sides.
In the given case the largest length is
Hence, given lengths do not form a triangle and question of forming right angled triangle does not arise.
