Explanation:

Answer 2

Yes, a triangle can be formed

Explanation:

Look

a=5

b=8

c=11

The rule is U need to add the 2 smallest sides

a+b>c

if a+b=c then this is not a triangle

Now look

5+8=13

13 is greater than 11

13>11 so this is a triangle

2 smallest sides are greater than biggest side
