Answer:
C 24
D 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the choices offered:
5 and 7 will not form a triangle* with any of the other lengths
7 and 12 will not form a triangle with any of the other (longer) lengths
7 and 24 will form a triangle with the other possibilities, 25 and 29. (needs further consideration)
7 and 25 will not form a right triangle with 29, because a right triangle cannot have 3 odd-length sides.
__
Further consideration
7^2 +24^2 = 49 +576 = 625 = 25^2 . . . . checking Pythagorean theorem
The side measures 7, 24, 25 will form a right triangle.
_____
* A triangle can be formed from three segments only if the sum of the shortest two exceeds the length of the longest one.
