Answer: 7) No   8) No

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pythagoras theorem of the right triangle,

Square of largest side = Sum of square of other two sides.

8) Given sides: 5cm, 12cm, 14cm

Here, Largest sides = 14 cm

[tex]5^2+12^2=25+144=169\neq14^2 \ \ \ [14^2=196][/tex]

These sides do not represent a right triangle.

7) Given sides:  9m, 4m, 5m

Largest side = 9 m

[tex]4^2+5^2=16+25=49\neq 9^2 \ \ \ \ \ [9^2=81][/tex]

These sides do not represent a right triangle.
