Using the side lengths, we can determine that the longest side is 25.3 centimeters, so:
a² + b² > c²
where a, b, and c are the side lengths.
Substituting the values, we get:
15.6² + 12.6² > 25.3²
243.36 + 158.76 > 640.09
402.12 > 640.09
Since this is not true, we can classify the triangle as a scalene triangle since none of its sides are congruent.
a² + b² > c²
