I tried using heros formula and exhausted all my avenues can someone
help me please?

Hint on the SAT: No one is expected to know Hero's formula.

I believe you have mistated the problem. It should have been
something like "If a triangle has sides A, B, and C, which of the
following can occur?" The only thing you need to know to answer
this is that in a triangle, the length of any side is less than
the sum of the lengths of the other two sides.
