Solution

No, it is not possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides as 4cm, 3 cm, and 7 cm because here we see that sum of the lengths of two sides is equal to the third side i.e., 4+3=7.
As we know that, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side, so given statement is not correct.
