Answer: Yes. That is because it fits the requirements of the Pythagoream Therom:

6^2+8^2 10^2

36+64 100

100 = 100 :)

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Another way of stating the question: Does the Pythagorean Theorem apply here? Does 6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2?

Does 36 + 64 = 100? YES

Yes, this is a right triangle.
