True

using the converse of Pythagoras' identity

Given 3 sides of a triangle, if the longest side squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides then triangle is right.

longest side squared = 26² = 676

sum of other 2 sides squared = 24² + 10² = 576 + 100 = 676

Hence triangle is right
