This is not possible to construct a triangle with sides 3cm, 5cm, and 3cm.
For a triangle to be constructed, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. However, in this case, the sum of the lengths of the two shorter sides (3cm and 3cm) is only 6cm, which is less than the length of the longest side (5cm). Therefore, a triangle cannot be constructed with these measurements.

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
of course it's possible. 6 is not less than 5!
An isosceles triangle, with base 5, and height √11/2
