to know if it's impossible to construct a triangle or not
we are going to do the sum of any two side and it should be greater than third one
try this with each side
then difference of two sides will be always greater than the third side
similarly 5 + 7 is not greater than 12
so we cannot construct a triangle with line segments 5 cm ,7 cm and 12 cm

Answer:
No,we can't construct a triangle because the sum of two sides is always greater than the third sides ,so 5+7 is not greater than 12 so we can't construct a triangle with the length you have given.
Hope it helps!
