Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use Pythagorean Theorem, you can determine whether or not these measurements make a right triangle. The hypotanuse is always the longest side, or c, in this equation.

a^2+b^2=c^2

14^2+23^2=25^2

196+529=625

725=625

Obviously, this set of measurements do not make a right triangle. Hope this helped!
