Answer:

The statement is false

Explanation:

we know that

if the triangle is a right triangle

then

the triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem


c^(2)=a^(2)+b^(2)

we have


c=24\ units


a=9\ units


b=22\ units

substitute


24^(2)=9^(2)+22^(2)


576=81+484


576 \\eq 565

therefore

Is not a right triangle

The statement is false
