Answer:

Explanation:

If this is a right angle triangle then no, it is impossible since this set of lengths is NOT a pythagorean triple.

If this is a non-right angle triangle then yes.

Answer:

Yes it can!

Explanation:

The 2 shortest sides how to be bigger than the longest sides when combined

7 + 15 = 22 and 22 is bigger than 18. So yes you can make a triangle with those side lengths.
