In a triangle, the sum of two small sides will always be greater than the larger side.
So the maximum value of the larger side = \(7\), so the sum for other two sides will be \(8\)
With that we will have triangles with sides : 7-1-7 ; 7-2-6 ; 7-3-5 ; 7-4-4
Other value for the lager side can be : \(6\), so the sum for other two sides will be \(9\)
With that we will have triangles with sides : 6-3-6 ; 6-4-5
Other one will be equilateral triangle with all sides 5 : 5-5-5
Total 7 triangle can be formed.
