Explanation:

did you also try Pythagoras, the first thing you always remember and try for right-angled triangles ?

you remember :

c² = a² + b²

c is the Hypotenuse (the baseline, it is opposite of the right angle - if it is a right-angled triangle, it is the longest side).

a and b are the legs.

the perimeter is the sum of all 3 sides.

22 = AB + BC + AC = 8 + 5 + AC

AC = 22 - 8 - 5 = 9 cm

so, now, if it is a right-angled triangle, the 3 sides must satisfy the Pythagoras equation (remember, in that case also the longest side must be the Hypotenuse) :

9² = 8² + 5²

81 = 64 + 25 = 89

that is wrong, so it is NOT a right-angled triangle.

Answer:

no

Explanation:

if it is a right-angled triangle then a² + b² = c².

8²+5²=89

√89 = 9.4

9.4 ≠ 22

a² + b² ≠ c²

it is not a right-angled triangle
