Answer:

YES, he would be able to form a triangle with these tree sticks

Explanation:

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. And this MUST be true with all combinations

10+12 is greater than 15

10+15 is greater than 12

15 +12 is greater than 10
