Dear Student

Clearly, we have:
(3 + 2) = 5 < 6
Thus, the sum of any two of these numbers is less than the third.
Hence, it is not possible to draw a triangle whose sides are 6 cm, 3 cm and 2 cm

Thanks

Dear Student,
 
In order to draw a triangle, the sum of two sides of the triangle should be greater than the third side.
Clearly, we have
 
(3+2) = 5
 
Hence, the triangle is not possible .
