Use the pythagorean theorem.
if 7^2 + 10^2 = 14^2 you would have a right triangle. Since it does not, you do not have a right triangle

In a Right Triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In other words, a Right Triangle with sides of 2 inches and 3 inches will have a hypotenuse of the square root of 13. No other type of triangle has this property.
(2^2) + (3^2) = 4 + 9 = 13
sqrt(13)^2 = 13
So, if the square of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides of the triangle, then you know you have a Right Triangle.
Conversely, if the square of the longest side of a triangle is NOT equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides, then you know you do NOT have a Right Triangle.

Dear,
According to the pythagoreann theorem, A right triangle must satisfy the following condition;
square of the largest side of the triangle= sum of the square of other two sides.
Now check your given sides,
(14)^2= (7)^2+(10)^
196=49+100
196=149, the condition is not satisfied, so the given triangle is not a right triangle.
good luck.

choose the largest side (14)^2 = 196
take the other two sides ( 7)^2 + (10)^2 = 49 + 100 = 149
( 14)^2 not equal ( 7)^2 + ( 10 )^2
then the triangle is not right

use pythagorean therom.
7^2+10^2= 149
14^2=196
not a right triangle

Of course it's not. If it was,
7^2 + 10^2 = 14^2
149 = 196
I don't the last statement is true :)

ok for starters you're saying your no longer into his chum, then why in hell are you thinking dating him over the guy you're attracted to? That isn't sensible in any respect...that's no longer a love triangle considering the fact which you do no longer look after each and all of the events you're merely seeking to be in some style of interest from those adult adult males. recover from your self heavily...do no longer' play video games and don't' submit stupid dating head interest questions interior the marriage type...

trig!
a = 7
b = 10
c = 14
arcsin(b/c) + arcsin(a/c) = 90
if they dont equal 90 then you dont have a right triangle
