Can you create a triangle with sides 17ft , 8ft , and 25ft ?

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. By the basic structure of a triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side, c. In this case, 25 ft is the value of c. 17^2 + 8^2 = 353. 25^2 = 625, so this isn't an accurate triangle.

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
