Answer:

The statement is false

Explanation:

we know that

if the triangle is a right triangle

then

the triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

c^(2)=a^(2)+b^(2)

we have

$c=24\ units$

$a=9\ units$

$b=22\ units$

substitute

24^(2)=9^(2)+22^(2)

576=81+484

$576 \\eq 565$

therefore

Is not a right triangle

The statement is false
