Given measures do not qualify to form a triangle for the reason mentioned below.

$a = 3, hatA = (5pi)/24, b = 1, hatB = (17pi)/24$

In a triangle, larger side will have larger angle opposite to it.

But, though $hatB > hatA$ , side b $<$ side a.

Hence given measures do not qualify to form a triangle.
