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.
