Question

Determine whether (7,24,25) can be the measures of the sides of triangles.

Answer 1

In order to create a triangle, the greater side needs to be smaller than the sum of the other two sides.

The greater value among these three values is 25, so let's check:

`\begin{gathered} 25<24+7\\ \\ 25<31\text{ \lparen true\rparen} \end{gathered}`

The condition was satisfied (the inequality is true), therefore the answer is Yes.
