Answer:

15, 60, and 61

Explanation:

First we have to find the 3rd side length from 2 side length chosen. So let’s pick 8 meters and 11 meters, to find the third side length we use the Pythagorean theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c = 11^2 + 8^2 = 121 + 64 = 185 = 13.6

13.6 isn’t one of the answers so we can’t pick 11 & 8. Let’s try 11 & 15:

c = 15^2 + 11^2 = 225 + 121 = 346 = 18.6

18.6 isn’t one of the answers either. Let’s try 15 & 60:

c = 60^2 + 15^2 = 3600 + 225 = 3825 = 61.85

61.85 might be it but let’s try one more just in case:

c = 60^2 + 61^2 = 3600 + 3721 = 7321 = 85.6

Nope! That means 15, 60, and 61 are the answer. I hope this is correct!
