Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Using converse of Pythagoras' identity

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

longest side = 12 , then 12² = 144

3² + 9² = 9 + 81 = 90 ≠ 144

Thus the triangle is not right.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

For this triangle to be a right triangle the following has to happen:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a=3, b=9, c= 12

3^2+9^2 does not equal 12^2

9+81 = 90 12^2 = 144

90 does not equal 144 so is not a right triangle
