The Answer:No, since assuming the form of the Pythagorean Theorem, we have:

62 + 72 = 102

36 + 49 = 100

85 = 100

False.

The Reality:Using the law of Cosines, we find:

102 = 62 + 72 - 7(6)cos(x)

100 = 36 + 49 - 42*cos(x)

100 = 85 - 42*cos(x)

15 = -42*cos(x)

-15/42 = -5/14 = cos(x)

arccos(-5/14) is approximately +- 1.9360035481 (rounded up) radians, which is, choosing the only choice, the positive, converting produces arround 110.9o.
