This easy.
Check what a^2 + b^2 equals
And then what C^2 equals
A being the short side ( 3 ) and B being the medium one ( 4) And C being the longest ( 5 )
So (3)^2 + (4)^2 = 25
And (5)^2 = 25
If the longest side squared equals the sum of the legs squared >> the triangle is a right triangle.
If the longest side squared is less than the sum of the legs squared >> the triangle is acute.
If the longest side squared is greater than the sum of the legs squared >> the triange is obtuse.
So yours is a right triangle.
