First, remember that:

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

In this problem, notice that:

2 + 3 is not greater than 5.

3 + 5 is not greater than 2.

2 + 5 is not greater than 3.

So, the statement is false. A triangle can't have sides 2
