Answer:

Not a right triangle

Explanation:

I think the question is asking if this a right triangle?

In order to be a right triangle, the side lengths will need to follow Pythagorean theorem which says the two side legs of the triangle squared is equal to the hypothenuse squared or


a^(2) +
b^(2) =
c^(2); we can use the length given such as 11mm, 14mm and 19mm (assume is the hypothenuse)


11^(2) +
14^(2) =?
19^(2)

121 + 196 =? 361

317 ≠ 361; therefore it is not a right triangle
