Consider the first length of the triangle as
Represent the value in a range:
Calculate the root of the range.
Estimate the value of
Consider the inequality of triangle theorem:
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle should be greater than the third side.
Consider the third side of the triangle as
Calculate the range of
It is seen the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is not greater than the third side.
Hence, the triangle will not be formed.
