Answer:

Explanation:

to prove it right angle

square of largst side must be eqaul to the sum of two other sides.

so here 12 is largest and 11 and 5 are two other smallest sides of a triangle.

(12)^2=(11)^2+(5)^2

144=121+25

144=146

since the square of largest side is not equal to the sum of square of other two smaller sides it can be concluded that the given sides of a triangle does not form a right angled triangle.
