Answer:
It is a right angled triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
In a right angled triangle, the square of hypotenuse should be equal to the sum of the square of perpendicular and base ( Pythagoras theorem)
Applying that we get,
(20)^2 = (16)^2 + (12)^2
400 = 256 + 144
400 = 400
Since, the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of perpendicular and base, it is a right angled triangle
