Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, the three side lengths could form a triangle.
To find out if the sides can form a triangle, you take the lowest side lengths and add them together. If they are <u>greater </u>than the longest side, then they can form a triangle. <u>If it is equal or less than the longest side,</u> then it CAN NOT form a triangle.
7.8 + 10.4 > 13
18.2 > 13
<u>So, the answer is Yes.</u>

Use the Pythagorean theorem...
a²+b²=c², in this case a²=c²-b<span>²</span>
a²+24²=33.94113<span>²
a</span><span>²+576=1,152.00031
a</span><span>²=576.000306
a=24 (If you need the exact number, not rounded, it is 24.0000064)</span>
