Answer:

No, a right triangle must have a side that is 90 degrees. And all the sides added up together must have a degree of 180. So No, it is not a right triangle

Explanation:

Right triangles are triangles in which one of the interior angles is 90 degrees, a right angle. Since the three interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, in a right triangle, since one angle is always 90 degrees, the other two must always add up to 90 degrees (they are complementary).

Hope this helped:)

Answer: Yes

Explain: When the side lengths of a triangle are in the ratio 3: 4: 5, then it is a right triangle.

These sides are 6: 8: 10, then the triangle is a right one.
