Answer:

No it cannot.

Explanation:

It requires certain relationships between the lengths of the sides of a triangle. One cannot simply take three random line segments and form a triangle. The line segments have to satisfy the triangle inequality theorems. Other theorems that define relationships between the sides of a triangle are the Pythagorean theorem and the law of cosines.
