If the question means "Can the three pieces of wood be placed together to form a triangle", which I suspect it does, the answer is No. In a triangle, any two sides must be longer than the other. 4 + 7 is not longer than 13, so they could not meet is one was joined to a different end of the 13 inch board.
A 24 foot long board is cut into two pieces the long piece is three times the length of the short piece find the lengths of the 2 pieces?
