Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If this is right triangle, then 2 things are fact: that the side length 25 is the length of the hypotenuse since the hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle, and that Pythagorean's Theorem applies. Let's check that:

[tex]7^2+24^2=25^2[/tex] If this is a true statement, then these sides do indicate a right triangle.

49 + 576 = 625 and

625 = 625 so yes, this is right triangle by the Converse of Pythagorean's Theorem
