Answer:

No

Explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem: (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

a^2 + b^2

(14)^2 + (15)^2

196 + 225 = 421

Now for c:

29^2 = 841

841 does not 421 so its not a right triangle

Answer: No.

Step-by-step explanation: This triangle does not form a right triangle because it does not have a 90 degree angle.
