How many triangles, if any, can be drawn with side lengths of 4 cm, 7 cm, and 15 cm?

It would be impossible beca if you add 4 and 7, you would get 11 as an answer and 11 is less than 15. In order to create a triangle, the first 2 measurements should be greater than the 3rd measurement or else the sides wouldn’t touch. Hopefully this helped you out !! C:

Answer:

none

Explanation:

the two shortest lengths combined have to be longer than the longest length

4+7=11

11<15

the 4 cm side and the 7 cm side wouldn't touch
