Yes. A triangle with sides of lengths 60 meters, 79 meters, and 97 meters is a right triangle. You can confirm this 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.
Calculating:
- Hypotenuse (97 m): \( 97^2 = 9409 \)
- Other sides: \( 60^2 + 79^2 = 3600 + 6241 = 9841 \)
Since \( 9409 \neq 9841 \), I apologize for the error. The correct answer is **no**, it is not a right triangle.
