Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To test if this is a right triangle, let's test these side lengths with the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c is the hypotenuse, the longest side of a right triangle.

a and b are the legs of the right triangle.

a = 7

b = 15

c = 17

7^2 + 15^2 = 17^2 ?

49 + 225 = 289 ?

274 ≠ 289

Thus, this triangle is not a right triangle since it does not satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.

have a good day :)
