Yes, I can explain why the side measures 3, 3, 6 will not form a triangle.
In order for a set of side measures to form a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
In this case, the sum of the lengths of the first two sides (3 + 3 = 6) is equal to the length of the third side. According to the triangle inequality theorem, this means that the three sides cannot form a triangle.
