Answer:

Let first side= 5 cm

second side= 12 cm

third side = 13 cm

To prove this triangle to be right angle triangle, we need to prove Pythagoras Theorem

[tex]5^{2}[/tex]=25

[tex]12^{2}[/tex]=144

[tex]13^{2}[/tex]=169

169= 25+144

169=169

According to Pythagoras theorem ,

[tex]p^{2}[/tex]+[tex]b^{2}[/tex]=[tex]h^{2}[/tex]

since, it follows Pythagoras theorem,

Hence, it is a Right angle Triangle
