I have 'fixed' your picture but it was such a mess it was easier (clearer) to just re-draw the salient part....

You began your attempt by using Pythagoras' Theorem and that is all that is required to complete the question too.

Have you not been told about the Converse of Pythagoras' Theorem?
(Follow the link if you don't know about it.)

Once you know the length of AH, that may be used to prove that the angle AHB is 90°

Hope that helps. 😊
