9

consider the extreme cases where the angle between those two sides is near 0 or near 180 degrees|dw:1355331837536:dw|

anonymous · Answer

okay so the answer is     It must be greater than or equal to 6 and at most 24

anonymous · Answer

In those cases it wont be a triangle, so no.
Try again :)

anonymous · Answer

okay so its It must be greater than 6 and at most 24. because 9+15 =24

@J.A.P.A.N because the triangle can only be preserved if the angles approach 0 and 180 without actually taking on those values, the lengths will approach 6 and 24 without taking on those values
