yes, the equation is a^2+b^2=c^2 so if u take 18^2+24^ it equals 900 so to test that you take 30^2 which is = to 900 also so yes

Answer: Yes, the side lengths form a pythagorean triple.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the side lengths of triangle ABC are as follows :

AB=18,~~BC=24,~~CA=30.

We are to check whether the side lengths form a pythagorean triple or not.

For making a pythagorean triple, the side lengths must satisfy the following :

We have

$AB^2=18^2=324,\\\\BC^2=24^2=576,\\\\CA^2=30^2=900.$

So,

Thus, the side lengths will form a pythagorean triple.
