Answer:

yes

Explanation:

The side lengths of the triangle are 5, 12, and 5+8 = 13. We can check to see if they satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, which would indicate a right triangle.

5² + 12² = 25 +144 = 169 = 13²

These sides do satisfy the relationship between sides for a right triangle, so angle A is a right angle. That is the case when segment AB is a tangent to the circle.

Yes, AB is a tangent.
