Answer:

  • No

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean to verify:

  • 2² + 4² = 5²
  • 4 + 16 = 25
  • 20 = 25

As we see the equation is not true, so the answer is no

Let's use Pythagorean theorem to verify

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=P^2+B^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 5^2=4^2+2^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 25=16+4[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 25\neq 20[/tex]

Not a right triangle
