Answer:

No

Explanation:

15 would be the longest angle or, the angle directly across the right angle

To see if this is a right angle, you'd have to do 11²+6², if it was a right angle, the answer would be 15² which it isn't so, it's not a right angle

Answer:

No

Step by step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

6² + 11² = 15²

36 + 121 = 225

157 =/= 225
