Answer:

side length of 2

side length of 6

side length of 7

Explanation:

So remember the two shorter lengths added together have to be greater than the longest side length

For the first answer choice we add 7 and 8

7+8=15

The two shorter sides added are not greater then the longest side so that is not the answer

For the second answer choice we add

8 and 5

8+5=13

13 is not greater than 14 so this is not the answer choice either

For the third one we add 6 and 3

6+3=9 which is not greater than 10 so this is not the answer

For the last one we add 2 and 6

2+6=8 which is greater than 7 so this one is the answer
