Ratio between sides is given as #1:1:2#.

From the Triangle Inequality Theorem we know that the sum of the lengths of two sides of the triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

For the given ratio sum of two smaller sides #1+1=2#, which is not grater than the third side.

Hence, the triangle does not exist.
