Answer: Only one unique triangle Khaleem could draw that fit these dimensions.

Explanation:

Let ABC be a triangle with side-lengths 5 cm, 8 cm, and 7 cm.

Suppose there is another triangle with same side lengths.

Then by SSS congruence criteria both triangles are congruent or exactly equal.

Therefore, if Khaleem wanted to draw a triangle where the sides measured 5 cm, 8 cm, and 7 cm, then only one unique triangle Khaleem could draw that fit these dimensions.
