Answer:

8, 2, 8 form a triangle

Explanation:

Given 3 possible sides of a triangle.

For the sides to form a triangle , the sum of any 2 must be greater than the third.

3, 6, 2

3 + 6 = 9 > 2

6 + 2 = 8 > 3

3 + 2 = 5 < 6 ← fails the test

these sides do not form a triangle

8, 2, 8

8 + 2 = 10 > 8

2 + 8 = 10 > 8

8 + 8 = 16 > 2

these sides form a triangle

5, 8, 2

5 + 8 = 13 > 2

8 + 2 = 10 > 5

5 + 2 = 7 < 8 ← fails the test

these sides do not form a triangle

3, 16, 10

3 + 16 = 19 > 10

16 + 10 = 26 > 3

3 + 10 = 13 < 16 ← fails the test

these sides do not form a triangle
