Which measurements could be the lenghts of the sides of a triangle 5cm2cm7cm?

No the given measurements would not make a triangle because in order to construct a triangle the sum of its smallest sides must be greater than its longest side.

What does scale factor between two similar figures tell you about their side lenghts?

Say you had Triangle A. Triangle A has these sides: Side 1: 9 Side 2: 6 Side 3: 6 Pretend the scale factor indicates Triangle A is 3 times the size of Triangle B, whose sides are currently unknown. To find the sides of triangle B, simply divide all the sides of triangle A by 3. You should get: Triangle B Side 1: 3 Side 2: 2 Side 3: 2 I hope that somewhat answers your question! ^-^
