Answer: find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

To use the Pythagorean theorem to prove if a triangle with the side lengths 7,14,28 is a right triangle, you will square 7 and add it to the square of 14. The square root of the sum will be equal to 28 if it is a right angle triangle. Otherwise, it is not.

(7^2 + 14^2) = 49 + 196

245

Find the square root of 245

Square root = 15.65

Since it is not 24, the triangle is not a right angle triangle.
