No.

Explanation:

First, remember the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2a2+b2=c2 where cc is the hypotenuse, or the longest side of the right triangle, and aa and bb are the other two sides

"Pythagorean Theorem only works on right triangles"Pythagorean Theorem only works on right triangles

Therefore, we can try our 4-5-7457 triangle.

We ask ourselves: Is 4^2+5^2=7^242+52=72? Let's try it out.

=>16+25?4916+25?49

=>41!=494149

Therefore, our triangle is not a right triangle.
