Answer:

Correct Answer is TRUE .i.e., ΔWXY is a right angled triangle

Explanation:

Given: All Sides of ΔWXY .i.e., WX = √34 , XY = √17 and WY = √17

To check : If ΔWXY is right angle or not

We use the result which states that if in a triangle square of largest side is equal to sum of squares of other two side then triangle is right angles.

So, WX² = (√34)² = 34

XY² + WY² = (√17)² + (√17)²

= 17 + 17

= 34

Since, WX² = XY² + WY²

ΔWXY is a right angled triangle

Therefore, Correct Answer is TRUE
