Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a right triangle if it satisfies the Pythagorean theorem.

The theorem states that: [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]

We have:

[tex]a = 5\\b=9\\c=13[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]a^2=25\\b^2=81\\c^2=169[/tex]

And we can see that [tex]25+81\neq 169[/tex]

Therefore it is not a right triangle.
