Answer 1

Choose B.) 8, E.) 10, F.) 13

as long as we choose the numbers between 2 and 16 not including the 2 and 16

Explanation:

Because you have two sides with lengths 7 and 9, the third side cannot be greater than 7 + 9 and not less than 9 -7

Let the 3rd side be x., 9 -7 < x < 9 +7, 2 < x < 16

x = 8 is possible, x = 10 is possible, x = 13 is possible.

we cannot have 2, 22, and 1.5
