A square divided in two would in fact make two right triangles. But the triangle in the picture isn't a right triangle

I fail to see how this is not a right triangle then.

If all sides are 19, wouldn't that imply a right angle?



I don't see how it can work any other way.

In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the longest side. All sides are equal therefore it's NOT a right triangle.
