Answer:

Hi Ivy Sup....

Suppose there is another triangle with same side lengths. Then by SSS congruence criteria both triangles are congruent or exactly equal. Therefore, if Khaleem wanted to draw a triangle where the sides measured 5 cm, 8 cm, and 7 cm, then only one unique triangle Khaleem could draw that fit these dimensions.

Love you!
