You have to take the triangle inequality into account: no side can be longer than the two other sides together. That makes the minimum size for the third side 3 cm., and the maximum, 7 cm. To be more accurate, 3 cm < length < 7 cm.

How do you find the area of a rectangular base?

In order to find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width of the rectangle. For example: If the length of a rectangle is 5cm and the width of a rectangle is 2cm, then the area of the rectangle would be 5cm X 2cm = 10cm&sup2;.

What is the length of a rectangle of 2cm going down and 5cm going across?

I am not sure what the point is for you to give us the dimensions of a rectangle and then ask what one of those dimensions is. Perhaps you are not sure whether the shorter or the longer of the two dimensions would be considered the length, and which the width. I would say that a rectangle measuring 2cm x 5cm is 2cm wide and 5cm long.

Is it possible to form a triangle from the lengths 2cm 2cm 5cm?

No. It is not possible, because a triangle cannot have a side longer than the sum of two other sides. 5 is greater than 2+2. Therefore the triangle cannot exist.
