Yes, because 24^2 is 576 and 10^2 is 100. Together, its 676. And the square root of 26 is 676. So, yes it is a right triangle.

If it is a right triangle then it must satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem:
a² + b² = c²
24² + 10² = 26²
576 + 100 = 676
676 = 676
True

Answer: Yes. This is a right triangle.
