Answer:

Explanation:

For a set of numbers to be a side of a triangle, two of the numbers must add up to greater than the third number. And that must be repeated for all the numbers.

Right of the bat, we notice the bottom left choice is the answer because 15 plus 27 is less than 43.

Hope that helps!
