we are given

three sides as 14 ft, 48 ft, and 50 ft

Firstly, we will verify for right angle

We know that any triangle is right angled when it satisfies Pythagoras theorem

Right Angle verification:

We know that hypotenuse side value is always largest

so, hypotenuse=c=50

Let's assume other two sides as

a=14

b=48

now, we can use Pythagoras theorem formula


c^2=a^2+b^2

we can plug values and we check whether left side is equal to right side


50^2=14^2+48^2


2500=196+2304


2500=2500

we can see that left side is equal to right side

Since, it satisfies Pythagoras theorem

Hence, this is right angled triangle.......Answer
