Answer 1

I can’t see the triangle or its side lengths. To decide if it’s a right triangle, use this test:

- Identify the longest side (that would be the hypotenuse if the triangle is right).
- Square the lengths of all three sides.
- Check whether (longest side)^2 = (other side 1)^2 + (other side 2)^2.

If you post the three side lengths or upload the image of the triangle, I’ll check and tell you which of the choices is correct.
