Answer:

The statements that best describes its construction is:

There is one possible triangle with these side lengths.

Explanation:

We know that with the help of three given angle measures infinite number of triangles could be constructed with different side lengths and with the help of three gives side lengths a unique triangle is constructed.

Here we are given three side lengths as:

8 centimeters, 13 centimeters, 15 centimeters.

This means that there is only one such triangle possible.
