Answer:

We conclude that
√(5), √(5),√(10) is an isosceles right triangle.

Explanation:

Given the sides of a triangle


√(5), √(5),√(10)

Given that the two sides are equal. Thus, it must be an isosceles triangle.

Let us check whether it is an isosceles right triangle or not.

We know that for a right-angled triangle with sides a, b and the hypotenuse c is defined as:


c=√(a^2+b^2)

Given


a=√(5)


b=√(5)

now substituting
a=√(5) and
b=√(5) in the equation


c=√(a^2+b^2)


c=\sqrt{\left(√(5)\right)^2+\left(√(5)\right)^2}


c=√(10)

Thus,


a=√(5)


b=√(5)


c=√(10)

Which satisfies the given side lengths
√(5), √(5),√(10)

Therefore, we conclude that
√(5), √(5),√(10) is an isosceles right triangle.
