Answer:

No

Explanation:

Use the pythagorian theorm to find whether it's a right triangle or not.

So the hyp will be the largest number. And the hyp must be equal to the sum of b and c squared

5.2 squared= 2.4 squared+ 4m5 squared

27.04= 26.01

It's not equal so the triangle isn't a right triangle.
