Answer:

no

Explanation:

as 3+4 = 7 and the sum of the first 2 sides is supposed to be greater than the third side and 7 is the sum of the first 2 side and the third side is also 7

Answer:

Below.

Explanation:

No - because the length of any one side must not be equal or greater than the sum of the other 2 sides.

Here 7 = 3 + 4 so they can't form a triangle.
