Answer:

No

Explanation:

The sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shorter sides is
10^2+12^2=244.

The square of the length of the largest side is
14^2=196.

Because these two values are not equal, the side lengths do not satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. Therefore, the triangle is not a right triangle.
