The triangle is a right angle triangle.

Explanation:

Given,

The lengths of the triangle are 8 cm, 19.2 cm and 20.8 cm.

To find whether the triangle is right angled.

Formula

By Pythagoras theorem we know that if any triangle satisfies the condition

hypotenuse² = base²+ perpendicular² there triangle will be right angled.

Now,

8²+19.2² = 64+368.64

= 432.64

= (20.8)²

It satisfies the Pythagoras theorem.

Hence it is a right angle triangle.
