Step-by-step explanation:
The condition that the sum of two sides must exceed the third side in a triangle can be easily extrapolated to say that each side must be less than the semi-perimeter of the triangle. Using this, we can quite simply conclude that the third side can never exceed 17 cm and must always be greater than 7 cm.
You may verify by choosing random values in that range that a triangle can always be created.
