YES.

18 and 24 are the two leg lengths and 30 is the hypotenuse then by Pythagoras' Theorem :- 182 + 242 = 302

324 + 576 = 900......which is true and therefore the three side lengths 18, 24 and 30 do form the sides of a right-angled triangle.

To determine if 18, 24, and 30 can be the side lengths of a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In this case, 18^2 + 24^2 = 900 and 30^2 = 900. Since the two values are equal, 18, 24, and 30 can form a right triangle.

Sure, honey. To check if those numbers can be the side lengths of a right triangle, you apply the Pythagorean theorem. So, if 18² + 24² = 30², then you've got yourself a right triangle. But guess what? 18² + 24² does not equal 30², so those sides ain't gonna cut it for a right triangle.
