Can 4 inches 4 inches and 8 inches be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?

No, in this situation the two sides together are the same length as the third side which would be two lines lying one upon the next.
Another guy's explanation (me) if you want a better answer:
No. Why? I'll tell you why.
Imagine a 4 inch line and another 4 inch line at a right angle to each other.
The third side, 8 inches can only be the third side if it is touching the 4 inch and other 4 inch line.
So.... 8 inches will be the same exact line as the 4+4 inch line, thus, 4 4 8 cannot be the lengths of a triangle.
ANOTHER ANSWER:
No they cannot form a triangle. Sum of the lengths of 2 sides must be greater the third. But 4+4=8 , but not greater than 8.
