Step-by-step explanation:
It’s pretty clear only the 2/2/2 equilateral triangle has natural sides and a perimeter of 6.
If one side is 1, the others add to 5, so are 1 and 4 (not a real triangle 1+1<4) or 2 and 3, also not a real triangle, but a degenerate one.
If the side is 2, we get the other two sides add to 4, so 1+3, already ruled out, or 2+2, the equilateral triangle.
If the side is 3, the other two add to 3, 1+2 is the only possibility and that’s the degenerate triangle again.
It’s worse for sides 4,5,6,7… so we conclude the side 2 equilateral triangle is the only triangle with natural number length sides and a perimeter of 6
