Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity.

If the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, then the triangle is right.

longest side = 17 and 17² = 289

8² + 15² = 64 + 225 = 289

Since 17² = 8² + 15² , then triangle is right
