It is a right-/_^(ed) Delta, as it has got one angle of measure 90^@.

Explanation:

Even if it had not been mentioned that the Delta has one 90^@ /_, we

can infer this fact from the given lengths of the sides.

Observe that, 6^2+8^2=10^2; hence, by the converse of

Pythagoras' Theorem, the /_ opp. to side with length 10' is a

right-angle.
