Answer:

The triangle cannot be classified as right angled triangle.

Explanation:

Given measurements are;

15, 13 and 6.

In right angle triangle, the sum of square of lengths of smaller sides is equal to square length of larger side.

Therefore,


(6)^2 + (13)^2 = (15)^2\\36 + 169 = 225\\205 \\eq 225

Hence,

The triangle cannot be classified as right angled triangle.
