3 i think. Lol any pictures that go along with this?

Without the actual lengths, how are we to know?
Directrix (directrix):
One side of a triangle is shorter than the sum of the other two sides.
Directrix (directrix):
So, if I give you these three lenghts: 1, 1, 3, then You cannot make a triangle out of those 3 lengths.
Directrix (directrix):
If you are given 3 side lengths that are stated to be sides of a triangle, and then asked "how many" then that is 1.
As the question is stated, I see no correct option.

>>>3 i think Don't agree. @Rocky_

Ok you don't have to agree, i guessed
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if the sum of any two sides greater than the third then only one triangle can be formed.
if the sum of two sides =third side
then it is a straight line or a triangle with height=0
