    NO

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If a ≤ b ≤ c represent a Pythagorean triple, then

    a² + b² = c²

    We have a = 16, b = 20 and c = 25. Substitute:

    L = 16² + 20² = 256 + 400 = 626

    R = 25² = 625

    L ≠ R

    A pythagorean theorem must satisfy a² + b² = c²

    16² + 20² = 25²

    256 + 400 = 625

    656 ≠ 625 so no, the set 16, 20, 25 does not represent a pythagorean triple
