Answer:

No

Explanation:

For a Triangle to be a Right-Angled Triangle, should follow the Pythagoras Theorem which states that

If a is the larger side and b , c are the lengths of the other two sides

Then
a^(2) =b^(2) +c^(2)

Here a=30 , Then
a^(2)=30^(2) =900

and b=20 , c=25 , Then
b^(2) +c^(2) =20^(2) +25^(2) =1025

Since
a^(2) \\eq b^(2) +c^(2)

Then the Triangle is not Right Triangle
