Answer:

Yes is a pythagorean triple

Explanation:

To know if you can build a right triangle with those sides we have to make the following equality

h² = l1² + l2²

The hypotenuse is always the longest side so it should be 30

we check the equality of the equation

30² = 18² + 24²

900 = 324 + 576

900 = 900

Equality was fulfilled so it is a right triangle
