Explanation:

To determine whether a triangle is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Let's denote the three sides of the given triangle as a = 23, b = 30, and c = 19. We can check if these side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem as follows:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

19^2 = 23^2 + 30^2

361 = 529 + 900

Since 361 is not equal to 529 + 900, we can see that the given triangle is not a right triangle.
