Draw out a comparable triangle, using parts of a foot instead of a mile.

A squared plus B squared equals C squared. C being the hypotenuse (longest side)
Find out which sides arn't the hypotenuse, then square them, add them, and see if they make up the third side :)
If it was me I would get rid of the fractions and put it into decimals too....

1/2 = 6/12
1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12
the longest side is not longer than the sum of the two shorter sides , so a triangle can be made
