Do the following side lengths form a right triangle?

Question

5, 7, 10

I got yes, would this be correct?

This is how I got my answer:

5 + 7 > 10

5 + 10 > 7

7 + 10 > 5

Answer 1

Hi Jesset C.,

certainly you may HAVE a triangle with 5, 7, 10 sides ..but does it satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)?
