Yes, this is a right triangle. This can be determined by using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

In this case, the lengths are 7 meters, 4 meters, and 5 meters.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
(7^2) + (4^2) = (5^2)
49 + 16 = 25
65 = 25

Since the equation is not true, the triangle is not a right triangle.
