Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given values, 25 is the largest value, so if this were a right triangle, it would be the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagoras' theorem: For this triangle to be a right triangle, √(21² + 14²) must be equal to 25.

√(21² + 14²) = 25.239 (5sf) ≠ 25

Hence the triangle formed is not right.
