Answer:


\textbf{NO}\\

Explanation:


\textup{To check if it is a triangle, use \textbf{Pythagoras Theorem}.}\\ \textup{It states that}$$ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 $$ \\\textup{where $a, b$ are the sides and $c$ is the \textup{hypotenuse}.}\\


\textup{Now, call $a = 8$, $b = 10$, $c = 16$}\\\textup{Substituting for $a, b $ \& $c$:}\\$ a^2 + b^2 = 8^2 + 10^2 = 164 $\\\textup{But $c^2 = 16^2 = 256$ not equal. So, the given data does not represent a right angle triangle. Instead, it is a \textbf{Scalene Triangle} where all the sides are of different length.}
