is the answer a) 19 ?
i.e. how i approached this question
since all(any two) the sides are less than half the perimeter.
14 ,14 ,2
14 ,13 ,3
14 ,12 ,4
. .
8 8 = total 7 possibilities.
similary
13 ,13 ,4
13 ,12 ,5
13 ,11 ,6
likewise we can do for 12 , 11 and 10.
giving a total of 19.
correct me if i m wrong.
