Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity.

If the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.

longest side = 6 , then 6² = 36

4² + 3² = 16 + 9 = 25

Since 4² + 3² ≠ 6² then triangle is not right.
