Answer:

the teacher should be sad. the correct answer is 68 inches is NOT greater than 70 inches, therefore a triangle can't be created

Explanation:

in a triangle, 2 sides added together have to be greater than the third side or else the triangle can't be created. therefore, since 31+37=68 inches, and 68<70, the triangle can't be created.
