Solution

The correct option is A True

An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle only in a special case, where two of its sides(shorter) are of the same length and also satisfies the Pythagorean triplet equation.

Also, two angles should have the same measure of 45° each and the other will be right angle i.e., 90°.

However, not every isosceles triangle is a right triangle, and not every right triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Hence, the statement an isosceles triangle may also be a right triangle is true.
