Expert Answer
The property of sides of triangle states that:
"Sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side."
Now,
The sides of a triangle are given as 10.7 cm, 5.6 cm, 3.5 cm
Suppose such a triangle is possible. Then the above property can be applicable. Let us check that.
10.7 + 5.6 = 16.3, which is greater than 3.5
5.6 + 3.5 = 9.1, which is less than 10.7
Thus the property is not satisfied.
Hence, the triangle is not possible.
