Answer:

NO

Explanation:

We can know the answer by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

In a triangle with uneven sides, the longest side is called the hypotenuse. In this case, it is 50.

Using the theorem: a² + b² = c²

(Let's say c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other sides)

10² + 35² = 50²

100 + 1225 = 2500

1325 ≠ 2500

So the answer is NO
