Answer:
No, see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
You have three possible side length pairs:
8 + 6 = 14 < 15
6 + 15 = 21 > 8
15 + 8 = 23 > 6
Notice that for the first pair, the triangle inequality theorem is not satisfied. Thus, you cannot have a triangle with the given side lengths.
