Explanation:

Step1: Identify largest side, square it

Largest side = 26, so $26^2 = 676$

Step2: Sum squares of other sides

Other sides: 10, 24. Calculate $10^2 + 24^2 = 100 + 576 = 676$

Step3: Compare values

$26^2 = 10^2 + 24^2$

Answer:

The triangle is right because the square of the largest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
