To find out if the side lengths could be a triangle, you have to make sure you can add two numbers and that has to be greater than the third number. For example. Lets try 6, 6, 6.    6+6 > 6  thats true therefore it is a triangle

lets try 6, 6, 10       6 + 6 > 10      6 + 10 > 6      both of those combinations are true so it is a triangle

lets try 6, 6, 12 now.   6 + 6 > 12 is NOT TRUE therefore it is not I triangle so your answer would be 6, 6,12
