Answer:

No

Explanation:

given 3 sides of a triangle.

using the converse of Pythagoras' identity

If the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the square of the other 2 sides, then the triangle is right.

longest side = 26 , then 26² = 676

sum of squares of other 2 sides = 24² + 17² = 576 + 289 = 865

Since 675 ≠ 865 , then triangle is not right.
