This is a right triangle because it follows the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. In this case, the lengths are 5, 12, and 13, and 5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2, confirming that it is a right triangle.
