Answer:

Yes, it does form a triangle

Explanation:

According to the first triangle inequality theorem, the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must add up to more than the length of the third side. This means that the given side lengths DO form a triangle. 6.4+12.9=19.3 which is more than 14.2.
