Answer with explanation:

Sides of triangle are , 3, 4 and 6.

This is an Isosceles triangle,because all the three sides are not equal to each other.

Length of Greatest Side= 6 cm

Length of other two smaller sides are 3,and 4 cm.

Sum of square of two smaller sides

= 3²+4²

= 9 + 16

= 25

Square of largest side = 6²=36

36≠25

Square of largest side≠Sum of squares of two smaller sides

Pythagorean theorem not verified.

Hence ,the triangles having sides, 3, 4 and 6 is not a right triangle.
