No, because the angle at point Fis 90^ -

Yes, because you can use the Pythagorean Theorem on any triangle

No, because the triangle is not a right triangle.

Yes, because it is a right triangle

The correct answer is:

Yes, because it is a right triangle.

In a right triangle, one of the angles is 90°, and the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to relate the lengths of the three sides of the triangle. In this case, since the angle at point F is 90°, it meets the criteria for the Pythagorean Theorem to be applied.
