Answer:

Yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

In Pythagorean Triples, the two legs always have to add up to be a greater number than the hypotenuse. In this case, 12 and 16 are the legs and 20 is the hypotenuse. The sum of 12 and 16 is 28. That is more than 20, so 12, 16 and 20 make a right triangle. I hope this helps you!
