Answer 2

yes

Explanation:

Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity.

Ife 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 = 13, thus

13² = 169

5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169

Since 5² + 12² = 13² then the triangle is right
