Answer:

no

Explanation:

using the converse of Pythagoras' identity

If the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.

longest side = 12 , then 12² = 144

7² + 10² = 49 + 100 = 149

since 149 ≠ 144 then the triangle is not right
