Answer:

Yes, it is a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Yes, this is a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you would use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2=c^2

Here we have 2^2+2.1^2=2.9^2

So we must check to see if that checks out.  What we find is that both sides are equal to 8.41 which means we have a right triangle.
