Do these side lengths make a triangle?

Answer:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 - Pythagorean Theorem

6^2 + 10^2 = 15^2

36 + 100 = 225

136 doesn't equal 225

So, no, the sides lengths don't make a triangle.

No.

They do not create a triangle because if you follow the expression: a^2+b^2=c^2 it does not equal. Hope I helped :)
