No they can't (and what's more 1 isn't prime). Nor can 2,3,5. But what about the next three prime numbers?

3, 5 and 7 are possible sides. Largest side is smaller than the sum of the two other sides. Smallest side is larger than the difference of the two other sides.

Really?

OpenStudy (jamesj):

3,5,7 is possible.
