Answer:

A is not a right triangle

B is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

6^2 = 36
12^2 = 144.

36 + 144 = 180

15^2 = 225

180 ≠ 225, so it is not a right triangle

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

B.

5^2 = 25

12^2 = 144

25 + 144 = 169

13^2 = 169

169 = 169, so it is a right triangle
