Answer 1

Answer: Ethan would be it

Step-by-step explanation: I took the k12 TFAR.

Answer 2

Student Ethan chose three lengths that could form a triangle.

Explanation:

In order for three lengths to form a triangle, the sum of the lengths of the two shortest sides must be greater than the length of the longest side. In this case, 10 cm + 16 cm > 24 cm, and so the three lengths chosen by Ethan can form a triangle.
