Answer: the sets that cannot represent the three sides of a triangle are: [15,27,44]

Step-by-step explanation: because you add the 2 smallest numbers so in this you would add 15 + 27 and it equals 32. so therefore the number that you get from adding 5 and 27 or any small number would have to be bigger then the third number.
