Answer 1

It is a
r
i
g
h
t
−
∠
e
d
Δ
, as it has got one angle of measure
90
∘
.

Step-by-step explanation:
Even if it had not been mentioned that the
Δ
has one
90
∘
∠
, we
can infer this fact from the given lengths of the sides.
Observe that,
6

+
8

=

; hence, by the converse of
Pythagoras' Theorem, the
∠
opp. to side with length
10

is a
right-angle.

Answer 2

No

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle needs to have a right angle in this case this triangle does not. The next answer up is a triangle with 6,8, and 10 inches. This would give you a right triangle.
