Yes, because when you add the squares of the two sides it equals 16, which is the square root of four

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

the Pythagorean Theorem states that


a^2+b^2=c^2

or to me more specific the two shorter side lengths squared added together equal the hypotenuse squared

So basically what im saying is that if this is a right triangle then


4^2=√(6) ^2+√(10) ^2


4^2=16\\√(6) ^2=6\\√(10)^2=10\\10+6=16\\16=16

The following statement is true therefore it is a right triangle :)
