Answer:

No

Explanation:

given 3 sides of a triangle

using the converse of Pythagoras' identity

if the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides, then the triangle is right.

longest side = 35 and 35² = 1225 , then

15² + 15² = 225 + 225 = 450

since 1225 ≠ 450 then the 3 sides do not form a right triangle.
