1. **State the problem:** Determine which sets of side lengths can form a triangle.
2. **Triangle inequality rule:** For any three sides $a$, $b$, and $c$ to form a triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side:
$$a + b > c, \quad a + c > b, \quad b + c > a$$
3. **Check each set:**
- For sides 6, 7, 14:
$$6 + 7 = 13 \not> 14$$
Fails the inequality, so no triangle.
- For sides 3, 4, 5:
$$3 + 4 = 7 > 5$$
$$3 + 5 = 8 > 4$$
$$4 + 5 = 9 > 3$$
All inequalities hold, so these sides form a triangle.
- For sides 15, 15, 36:
$$15 + 15 = 30 \not> 36$$
Fails the inequality, so no triangle.
- For sides 2, 9, 11:
$$2 + 9 = 11 \not> 11$$
Fails the inequality, so no triangle.
4. **Conclusion:** Only the set 3, 4, 5 forms a triangle.
