Answer:

They do not make triangles.

Explanation:

You automatically know that c is going to be the biggest number of each triangle since it is the largest side. So you would use both of these formulas:

a² + b² = c²


2^(2) +
5^(2) =
7^(2) which is false

10² + 12² = 14² is false as well

Hope this helps!!
