Compare the given dimensions of four triangles. Which triangle is possible to construct?

For three lengths to form a triangle, the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side. For choice A, 5 + 12 = 17, which is greater than 13, so these lengths can form a triangle. The other choices fail this rule: their two shorter sides add to less than the longest side.
