Answer:
not a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is 22, so we have ...
AB +BC +CA = 22
8 + 5 + CA = 22
CA = 22 -13 = 9
If this is a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the short sides will be equal to the square of the long side.
AB² +BC² = 8² +5² = 64 +25 = 89
This is not the same as ...
CA² = 9² = 81
The triangle is not a right triangle.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you're familiar with a few Pythagorean triples, you know that a couple involving a side length 5 are (3, 4, 5) and (5, 12, 13). That is, (5, 8, 9) is NOT a Pythagorean triple, so you know immediately that those side lengths do not form a right triangle. (No calculation is necessary.)
To factor both numerator and denominator in this rational expression we are going to substitute 
with 
; so 
and 
. This way we can rewrite the expression as follows:
Now we have two much easier to factor expressions of the form
. For the numerator we need to find two numbers whose product is 
(30) and its sum 
(-11); those numbers are -5 and -6. 
and 
.
Similarly, for the denominator those numbers are -2 and -5.
and 
. Now we can factor both numerator and denominator:
Notice that we have
in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:
But remember than
, so lets replace that to get back to our original variable:
Last but not least, the denominator of rational expression can't be zero, so the only restriction in the variable is
