To determine if the triangle is a right triangle, we use the Pythagorean theorem to test or see if the data agrees. We do as follows:

c² = a² + b²
10² = (5√3)² + 5²
100 = 75 + 25
100 = 100

Therefore, the triangle with the given measurements is a right triangle. The angle that would have a right angle is angle BAC. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
