Answer:

It is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so the √113 ≈ 10.6

So we we know that that is the biggest side.

The pythagorean theorem : a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs ( the two smaller sides) and c is the hypotenuse (the longest side of the triangle)

We can input what we know, as 7 and 8 are the smallest sides and √113 is the longest

7² + 8² = (√113)²

49 + 64 = 113

113 = 113

This is a right triangle.
