1 yd = 36 in;  20 ft 8 in = 248 in;
We will use a proportion:
36  : 24 = x : 248
24 x = 36 * 248
24 x = 8,928
x = 8,928 : 24 = 372
Answer:  C ) 372 in

OLga [1]
Most likely you are expected to recognize that side lengths 2, 3, 5 will result in a "triangle" of zero area (looks like a line segment).

The appropriate choice is 
   (5, 3, 2)

_____
Some authors write the triangle inequality as a + b ≥ c for any assignment of a, b, c to side lengths. The "or equal to ..." allows the triangle to have zero area (looks like a line segment). Other authors insist the inequality not include the "or equal to" case. It looks like your text's author is in the latter camp.
