x + y + z = 15
x + y > z
x + z > y
y + z > x
From
x + y + z = 15
x + y = 15 - z
since x + y > z,
15 - z > z
15 > 2z
7.5 > z
agn
x + y + z = 15
x + z = 15 - y
since x + z > y,
15 - y > y
15 > 2y
7.5 > y
agn
x + y + z = 15
y + z = 15 - x
since y + z > x,
15 - x > x
15 > 2x
7.5 > x
So all the sides are 7 or less
sure they are non-congruent,
we'll require that perimeter=15
x = 1 y = 7 z = 7
x = 2 y = 6 z = 7
x = 3 y = 5 z = 7
x = 3 y = 6 z = 6
x = 4 y = 4 z = 7
x = 4 y = 5 z = 6
x = 5 y = 5 z = 5
So there are 7
Hope it helps...☺
