Answer:

Option A- One

Explanation:

Given that : The sides of the triangle measuring 6cm, 2cm and 7cm.

We are using : Triangle inequality

The sum of the length of the two sides should be greater than the length of the third side.

So, when we apply this theorem in 6cm,2cm and 7cm

6+2=8>7 , 7+2=9>6 , 7+6=13>2

It satisfy all three possible sets.

Therefore, the given values follows the triangle inequality.

Hence one triangle can be formed.

Therefore, option A is correct.
