Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

You want to know if side lengths 73 in, 55 in, and 4 ft form a right triangle.

Pythagorean theorem

The triangle will be a right triangle if the side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean relationship. The side length 4 feet is equivalent to 48 inches.

48² +55² = 73²
2304 +3025 = 5329 . . . . . true

Tina's sign is a right triangle.
