Answer:
not a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem states that If a triangle is a right triangle,
the hypotenuse^2 will equal to shorter^2 + longer^2
hypotenuse = 18, shorter side = 4, longer side = 17
18^2 = 4^2 + 17^2
324 = 16 + 289
324 = 305
That is false, therefore the triangle is not a right triangle
