I do not disagree with the above answer, but it is possible for the man page to not be current, which means not giving the correct answer. Another method may be:

tom@Owl:~$ which sudo
/usr/bin/sudo
tom@Owl:~$ file /usr/bin/sudo
/usr/bin/sudo: setuid ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped
tom@Owl:~$

The above is from Ubuntu 10.04 and should generally be functional. YMMV

I think ,what Irithori really meant - is to find this piece of info. from the man page.

-V The -V (version) option causes sudo to print its version string and the version string of the security policy plugin and any I/O plugins. If the
invoking user is already root the -V option will display the arguments passed to configure when sudo was built and plugins may display more verbose
information such as default options.
