Answer:

No it is not.

Explanation:

Let h = 13, p = 10 and b =7

Using pythagoras theorem,

h² = p² + b²

13² = 10² + 7²

169 = 100 + 49

169 = 149

This is false so the triangle is not a right angled triangle.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

7 squared + 10 squared = 149

13 squared = 169

As you can see these two products are not equal. They have to be equal to be a right triangle.

So this triangle is not a right triangle.

Hope that helped you and have a great day!
