To determine whether the triangle is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side (the hypotenuse).
Let's label the sides of the triangle:
- The bottom length is 12 cm (side a)
- The height is 9 cm (side b)
- The diagonal top is 15 cm (side c)
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Substituting the given values:
12^2 + 9^2 = 15^2
144 + 81 = 225
225 = 225
Since the equation is true, we can conclude that the triangle is a right triangle.

To determine if the given triangle is a right triangle, we need to check if it satisfies the conditions of a right triangle.
1. Look at the given figure or description of the triangle and identify the lengths of the sides. In this case, we don't have any specific measurements or lengths provided for the sides of the triangle.
2. Determine if the triangle satisfies the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
3. Without any specific measurements given, it is impossible to determine if the triangle is a right triangle directly. However, we can consider the angles of the triangle. If we have a right angle (90 degrees), then the triangle is a right triangle.
4. If the given figure or description clearly shows a 90-degree angle, we can conclude that the triangle is a right triangle. In this case, the figure or description is not provided, so we cannot determine if the triangle is a right triangle.
So, based on the information provided in the question, we cannot determine if the given triangle is a right triangle or not.
