Answer:

  • none if all sides are different lengths
  • 7 if 2 or 3 sides can be the same length

Step-by-step explanation:

If the side lengths are all different, none.

__

The following 7 combinations will form triangles:

  (5, 5, 5), (5, 5, 7), (5, 7, 7), (5, 15, 15)

  (7, 7, 7), (7, 15, 15)

  (15, 15, 15)

_____

Additional comment

The triangle inequality requires the sum of the two shortest lengths exceed the longest. Here, we have 5+7=12<15, so a triangle with all three lengths cannot be formed. We also note that 5+5=10<15, and 7+7=14<15, so isosceles triangles with only one side equal to 15 cannot be formed, either.

Answer:

none
