Yes, that is the famous first Pythagorean triplet: 3²+4²=5²

or

For three lengths to be able to form a triangle, it suffices that every one of those lengths is shorter than the sum and longer than the difference of the other two.

It is enough to check just one side.

So,

3 + 4 > 5

4 - 3 < 5

Your triangle is constructible.
