Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let me reassess the given information.
To determine if a triangle is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
In this case, let's label the sides as follows:
- Side A: 7 meters
- Side B: 4 meters
- Side C: 5 meters
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
7^2 + 4^2 = 49 + 16 = 65
C^2 = 5^2 = 25
Since 65 is not equal to 25, it means that the given triangle is not a right triangle.
Therefore, the triangle with side lengths 7 meters, 4 meters, and 5 meters is not a right triangle.
