1. Identify the side lengths:
a = 10, b = 16, c = 20.

2. Apply the Pythagorean theorem to check if the triangle is right-angled:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

3. Compute the squares of each side:
10^2 = 100,
16^2 = 256,
20^2 = 400.

4. Add the squares of the two shorter sides:
100 + 256 = 356.

5. Compare this sum to the square of the longest side:
356 \neq 400.

The triangle is not a right-angled triangle.

A function is considered exponential when it has a base with positive values greater than zero and different from one, where the exponent is an unknown. An important characteristic of exponential functions is that they show rapid growth or decay as an independent variable increases or decreases. Given the function 25^(x+3)=125, it is calculated that x has the value of
(X+2)(x+3)=4x+18
