Answer: 24, 24, 47

Explanation:

In order to form a triangle, the sum of two sides must be GREATER than the third side for all combinations.

a + b > c & a + c > b & b + c > a

23 + 28 = 51 which is NOT greater than 55

15 + 30 = 45 which is NOT greater than 45

8 + 17 = 25 which is NOT greater than 25

24 + 24 > 47 & 24 + 47 > 24 & 24 + 24 > 27

all combinations are true so these side lengths can form a triangle
