Number 1 is Not a triangle so No and you don’t need to classify becuase it’s not aa triangle

Number 2 is a triangle becuase its ta Pythagorean triplet and even if you checK, it adds up.

Explanation:

1) So using Pythagorean Theorem

8^2+9^2=20^2

64+91=400

That is not true

2) 3^2+4^2=5^2

9+16=25

That is true

Answer:

1. no, 2. yes

Explanation:

You need to use the triangular inequality thereom, which goes by if any side lengths are added together, they are greater than the remaining one. So, for number one, although 20+9=29>8 and 20+8=28>9, 9+8<20 since 9+8=17, which is less than 20. For number two, yes because 1) it is a right triangle triple and 2) 3+4=7>5, 4+5=9>3, and 5+3=8>4.
