Solution
Given lengths of sides are 2cm, 3cm and 7cm we have to check whether it is possible to draw a triangle with ten the given lengths of sides
We know that,
A triangle can be drawn only when the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side.
So, let’s check the rule
2+3>7 or 2+3<7
2+7>3
and 3+7>2
Here, 2+3>7 So, the triangle does not exit.
