Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2

C is always the longest side so you plug in the two shorter numbers for a and b

When you do this, this is what you get

5^2 + 12^2 = 14^2

Then you simplify

25 + 144 = 196

169 = 196

169 does not equal 196 so, it is not a Pythagorean triple
