Answer: No
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 4^2=16
5^2=25
25+16=41
41 squared =6.4031.....
6.4031 does not = 20
Answer: No, a triangle is not possible
The two smaller sides add to 4+5 = 9 which is not larger than 20. For a triangle to be possible, we need to be able to add 2 sides to make them longer than the third side. This is an application of the triangle inequality theorem.
