Max has sticks of lengths 6, 7, 8, and 10 inches. He wants to make a right triangle for an art project. Which 3 sticks should he use?

For a right triangle, the squares of the two shorter sides must add to the square of the longest side. With 6, 8, and 10 inches, 6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100, and 10² = 100. So Max should use the 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch sticks.
