Is it possible to have a triangle with the following sides ?

2cm, 3cm, 5 cm

3cm, 6cm, 7cm

2cm, 3cm, 5 cm

The sum of two sides should be greater than the third side 

But 2+3=5

2+3 is equal to 5 but not greater than 5. So it is not possible to have a triangle with side 2,3,5

3cm,6cm,7cm

The sum of two sides should be greater than the third side .

Difference of two sides of a triangle is less than the third

Given, 3cm,6cm,7cm

3+6>7           7−6<3

3+7>6           7−3>6

6+7>3           6−3<7

So it is possible
