David Kemp · Answer 1

No it is not a right triangle

Easton Robbins · Answer 2

The if the legs of a right triangle are a and b and the hyponuse (longest side) is c then

a²+b²=c²

so

12 is biggest so it is c

5²+10²=12² should be true if it is a right triangle

25+100=144?

125=144?

no

not a right triangle
