no it isn’t possible, You can't just make up 3 random numbers and have a triangle! You could end up with 3 lines that can’t connect with each other, making an incomplete triangle. The Triangle Inequality Theorem says that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side. meaning, you could only make one triangle with the given sides.?
