Answer:

No, it is not a right triangle. It is an obtuse triangle.

Explanation:

How to know a right traingle

A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is a 90∘ angle. The "square" at the vertex of the angle indicates that it is 90 degrees. A triangle can be determined to be a right triangle if the side lengths are known. If the lengths satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem (a2+b2=c2) then it is a right triangle.
