No triangle.

i don't believe you have any triangle.
the sides are 6, 3, 2.

the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side.

3 + 2 = 5 is not greater than 6.

this triangle violates that basic rule.

you won't be able to form a triangle with sides of those lengths.

if you think about it, lay down the base of the triangle horizontal to be equal to 6.
if the leg on the left side is 2 and the leg on the right side = 3, they can't intersect since the distance between them is 6 and their combine length is only 5.

Imaginary since as Theo explained it can't exist
