No, because 244 is not equal to 225
No because 359 is not equal to 100.
No because 22 is not equal to 15.

No, because the converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that if the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle. In this case, 12^2 is not equal to 10^2 + 10^2, so the triangle is not a right triangle.
