Answer:

5, 13, 10, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

hello, so for this question keep in mind the triangle inequality theorem which states- a side must be smaller than the sum of the other two sides.

go through each of the choices.

a. 5+7=12 12>9

b.2+7=9 9>9 this cant be the answer since 9 is equal to nine, not greater than,

c. 13+7=20 20>9

d.10+7=17 17>9

e.8+7=15 15>9

f.22+7=29 29>9 although 29 is greater than 9, we also have to keep in mind that the other 2 sides must also be greater than the other side. so try 7+9= 16. 16 isnt greater than 22 so it can’t be one of the answers.

hope this helped :)
